Yo Yo and Clown Loaches

I've just had a ABN breed in one of my tanks containing both yo yos and clown loaches and I'm wondering if they will bother the babies since these are not really swiming like a guppy fry would. They would be on the bottom and clinging to items.

How big are the loaches, Wendie? My Ancistrus used to breed regularly when my clowns were much smaller, but once the loaches got to a certain size, the Ancistrus fry no longer seemed to make it to adulthood.....

They are 4+ on the clowns and about 6 on the Yo Yos. This is the first breeding. I had just moved the other male to another tank with smaller females the day before.

If I can catch the babies I'll move them to other tanks. Hopefully they won't come out of the cave for a week while I'm away.
