hello, it's my first post. hello to all.

I would like to know if anyone has already had L260 predassero that newly hatched larvae in the tank. I have a tank used for breeding with inside 17 L260 adults and sub adults. it is possible that the larvae exit a den, creepy crawlies from another specimen of L260?

sorry for my bad English
Thanks

As far as I know, adults will leave fry alone. However, it's possible juveniles may compete with smaller juveniles and fry for space. I don't think they cannibalize each other.

I have always raised my L260's in colonies.
I have never observed any problems between keeping adults, small juveniles and new fry together.
I do recommend that properly sized hiding places be provided for fry of all sizes.
