Hy people, i’m seting up a small breeding 13 l aquarium, and I can’t decide on wich algee and food remain eaters to put in there that would not eat the eggs or fry of CPDs??
The tank is a little to small for othe fish, you can try otto cats for the algae, and some dwarf corydoras. The problem is, is that they like to be in groups of 3 or more. This is for both the otto cats and corydoras.

Hmmm, yes than you i did think about this.. I guess that i’ll just have to put one otto or cory when needed, from my biger tank right Next to this small one… Thans Steve, i’ll post few photos in few days so i hope you’ll coment on them!
I don’t see a problem with the Otocinclus, but the Corydoras will eat all the eggs & fry they can find.

Sorry for the late reply. I personally have not observed corydoras eat eggs. My wife and I have successfully triggered the spawning of 3 species of Corys. They exist in most of our aquariums. We lose most of the eggs to fungus. These eggs do “disappear”, not sure what happens to them. After saying that, we have heard of Corys eating eggs including their own. We have not heard of this or observed it for the dwarf Corys.

i heard snails will eat the eggs, i read it here, on this site, yesterday.
apparently shrimp wont bother the eggs.
I have kept with mine 2 amano and one cherry I collected 60-80 fry a week and that is with the parents in the tank(2 males and 4 females). The most I collected was 110 they may eat some but they are prolific with proper care. If you have a whole colony of cherry it might be an issue. The biggest problem is the size of tank I would use a single shrimp. I imagine an otto would be fine as well .
maybe baby shrimp? they are tiny and also serve as live food for the cpd’s
maybe toss a few preggo rcs in there, then catch the adult rcs after they give birth.
