I was wondering if i could put a pair of GBR's and a pair of bristlenose plecos in a 20g planted tank and raise fry from both?

Thanks for any info :thumbsup:
 
I think the combination of fish is fine but I think the tank is too small.
 
I had a rubberlip in with my breeding pair of Rams and within a couple of hours of them laying eggs the plec would gobble down the eggs even with the rams trying to brutalize him.
 
Wow guppy... nice Sword on that Swordtail!

Unfortunately I agree... fish love to eat eggs, so if you are really intent on breeding, keep a "spawners only" tank IMO. Otherwise, breeding is sporadic and luck-intensive at best.
 
Thanks for the info everyone! Thats what i thought would happen too. I already have three other GBR breeding tanks. I might give it a try anyways. Nothing to loose.
