L777 the bristlenoses are vegetarian but also eat meaty foods, mine absolutley love bloodworm, brineshrimp and other meaty foods as well as algae wafers and cucumber. I certainly would put money on them eating fish eggs if they find them.
I seperate the sexes when conditioning the fish for the simple reason that i do not want them spawning in the holding tanks and want the females as full of eggs as possible for when i pair them up. It is not essential to do this but my thousands of fry from many different species of fish prove that it works well.
