    Congrats ... Kribs are a treat ... they are just one down on convicts when it comes to easy breeding ... if you really wanted you could get a drop every 2 weeks or so by removing the fry, but I find leaving them in the tank makes for a happier pair. I found they get more aggro if you keep shipping the fry off.

    Congrats buddy! That didn't take long.. You barely got those kribs from me a couple of weeks ago! Maybe not even that long. Seems like they've certainly made themselves at home in your tank! Good going! Can't wait to see some pics :bigsmile:

    So I came back home from a weekend outing to discover that my fry have already hatched and are swimming around with their protective parents, such an amazing sight!

    I noticed something interesting with my pair of breeding kribs yesterday, my female krib didnt let the father of her 1 day old fry near them the whole day but when I turned the lights off for bed time she let him in the family again, this morning when I turned the lights back on she wouldnt let him near them again, hahah she cant make up her mind.
    Anyone else experience this with their kribs?
