Just a quick one i have currently 3 batches of fry in a grow out tank that has only 2 BN cats in there and im pretty sure that they are picking off some fry. It is hard to tell cause there would be 100+ or so fry but im sure there is less than when they were first hatched , i have lost maybe 1 or 2 a day on the bottom. Have you guys found that bn prey on fry particularly at night. I may need to put them in another tank.

The fry are Hongi , nyeri and A. Maleri so small but not helpless

Yep, Bns will eat anything that they come across and can catch without too much trouble. If the fry are sleeping on the bottom after lights out, the BNs shouldnt have any problem nabbing a few. Be a better idea to get rid of the BNs or get some 2-3cm ones for your fry tanks.
