The other day whilst moving around some rocks I discovered that my bristlenoses have eggs..This is the first time that I have successfully bred catfish however I'm not sure if I should move them..In the same tank I have salmon cats also some of my more aggressive African Malawi's..Although the father is protecting them...do you think they will get eaten or should I move them?

Although I've never owned a bristle nose there was an atricle in TFH about them recently. When the eggs hatch the fry are very large and take fairly large food. About being eaten, I would say that they would still be too small for them to survive with any predators around. You could try moving the male and fry now befor the eggs hatch and then when they do remove the male.
