In my opinion this is one species of dwarf that
the female is more than able to defend her spawn and fry from other tankmates,
regardless of their size.. The worry will be when the fry become free
swimming as she will ruthlessly defend the young possibly to the detriment of
other tankmates. Don't get me wrong she is fabulous, the only dwarf
species I have observed that chews the food and spits it out in a cloud for the
fry to eat. You didn't mentioon what size your tank is. It may be an
advantage to perhaps set up a species tank for the pair for future
spawnings.
