I plan on attempting what Mark Duffill/Mad Duff of Loaches Online did to spawn his dwarf chain loaches when I get mine: https://www.loaches.com/articles/yasuhikotakia-sidthimunki-spawning-success
But I'm worried that the fry may be eaten by the green neon/cardinal tetras already in the tank (they eat mere flakes like piranhas, so I have a hard time seeing them pass up the chance to eat baby chain loaches). What are the thoughts among the seasoned breeders on whethr or not the presence of the green neons/cardinals would make raising the baby loaches unfeasible?
Any advice is much appreciated as this is my first time attempting to breed an egglayer.
