Bolivian rams

I have a pair of bolivian rams. In my community tank the pair has spawned 4 times. They get to the stage of wigglers then my cory cats eat them over night.

I can tell 5 days out usually by their color and behavior that they are getting ready to spawn. I'm going to turn a 15 gallon tank into a breeding tank. 

My experience is that with out dither fish in the tank bolivians are reclusive. So I'm thinking of adding a small group of dither fish ( tetras) juvenile rummy nose or embers maybe. I don't want the tetras getting at the fry though. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

My first thought is if you pull the spawning pair to a new tank it might take awhile before they get comfortable and back in to the swing of things, are you able to pull the Cory's to the 15 instead for a little while?

if your willing to wait for them to get comfortable in the 15, then some dithers id recommend if you can find some locally try some pencilfish they stay a little higher in the tank.
