What fish do you have? The male Bristlenose will do a good job at keeping them away.

Common Pleco, large eclipse cat, ID sharks, blood parrots, BGK, eel, and a few others.

I was worried about other fish eating the eggs too but Im not sure. The culprits would be a rainbow shark, 5 zebra loaches, and 3 SAEs.

I don't know I would give it a shot. The worst case is your other fish get a good meal...

I'd say they would be fine. Plecos have hook on them used to defend themselves

Yeah, but we aren't talking about aggressive fish

Thank you I was just gonna say that, where did the 1 1/2 ft long Oscar come from. I don't even think I'd keep a bnp with an Oscar. Maybe while the Oscar was small. But for sure a snack! Go with a l-183 in an Oscar tank if you tank is big enough! They look gorgeous!

It was a common Pleco.

Maybe commons don't have the hooks on them but where did the pleco and Oscar come from? It want listed it the stock you asked... Previous tank? How big was the common in relation to the Oscar?
