Anyone have experience with their red hooks eating fry of other fish?

Looking for first hand experience from people who have kept red hooks with groups of fry.

Haven't owned red hooks but my regular silver dollars and spotted metynnis have eaten my leucos fry and eggs before. I assume red hooks would be the same, not exactly predatory but if its really small and not able to outrun its gonna be a mouthful. If your talking about fry that can swim well enough then they would probably be ok.

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it. I did do a dry run with dovii fry and they didn't touch them. But I am worried with fry in there long term it may be different.

Its a 250 gallon with an RTM pair and 8 red hooks.
