Tang species that won't eat fry

[MattyV55]

Any tang species that won't eat fry or disrupt my breeding colony of cyprichromis?

I think all Tanganyika fish will eat fry if they can, even the Cyprichromis. Offering hiding spots for the fry via either rocks or plants (live or fake) should offer some protection.

You asked, I answered. LOL!

Neolamprologus are fairly safe, so are the O. ventralis varieties.

Are you saying those species won't eat any fry? Or just Cyprichromis fry?

I was asking Joe and Matty because I am surprised...mine eat fry but can't verify they discriminate and don't eat cyp fry.

Any species will eat fry if the opportunity presents.
If you want to keep more than a few straggler fry, you don't keep a community tank.
