Will BushyNose plecos eat Cory eggs?

Post by TohokuChris »

Hi Folks
A few months ago I set up a 40 gal heavily-planted tank for the purpose of spawning Corydoyas. The tank contains only about eight each C. sterbai and C. panda, and three juvinile (for now) Ancistrus sp. bushy nose plecos.
The corys have spawned for me before in other tanks, but that was before I had bucketloads of BN plecos. I'll know the Cory eggs when I see them...but will the BN plecos eat the cory eggs? Anyone have first-hand observations one way or the other?
Thanks,
magdalo
