pelvicachromis wit live bearers

[festaedan]

Hey guys, my pair of p.teniatus "moliwe" is in a 20 tall and I wanted to move in my limia nigrofaciata. Could the pelvicachromis spawn and raise fry with the livebearers with them or would the live bearers or fry get killed or eaten.
Thanks

This may depend on how nice your pelvicachromis are feeling. You could always run experiments, because livebearer fry do hide very well. Although, I do believe that fish have some sort of way of knowing if fry are biologically from them.

My P. Taeniatus "Lobe" have coexisted with guppies for the last year, and even guppy fry.

I always thought that but I used to have my limia vitata group with my pair of siquia. After I sold them off I say in the group of fry the siquia were guarding, 5 little limia vitata. The little group is still allive and doing well but they swam, ate, and interacted with the other fry and parents just like the siquia fry did.
