    Hey. Well the title says it all really… I have a small female Ancistrus Catfish and a male Emperor Tetra in the CPD tank at the moment. The Catfish was getting battered by the male in my Rio 125 and the Emperor Tetra was fighting a lot resulting in ripped fins, so they’ve moved for now. I was planning on keeping the catfish as she’s a great little cleaner but obviously, an egg eater. What do you reckon?

    Highy, highly unlikly… Galaxy are danios. Pretty sure danios can’t breed with tetra, and definately not catfish. They are very different critters.

    Hahaha! Sorry, you misunderstood me. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. I meant with their own species in the presence of others…

    Your Galaxies might breed with other fish in the tank but the eggs/fry certainly would not survive. I have found the best solution is to keep them in a species tank (HEAVILY planted ) to give the fry optimum chance of survival.

    Still blond are we atlantis :lol: :lol:

    I think the catfish will eat any eggs scattered on the bottom and if a few did survive then the emporor tetra is sure to pick of any fry, mine used to chase and eat baby endlers which are a lot larger than Cpd’s fry.

    I just knew you’d mention that! :roll:

    But truly, I was kidding. Should have added a smilie I guess…

    No offense meant to you, Jimbo at all. I know you know better. ;)
