They are fun to watch with the young, mine spawned for the first time about a month ago, so am growing out about 100 fry atm...looks like they are ready to go again :roll: fortunately I have a hungry oscar who loves live food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrick1 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 haha lucky oscar! the tank they are in is at my parents so I wont be there much to look after them... There only in with some sword tails so you reckon the parents will look after them ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 The first time my kribs spawned the female wouldn't let the male near and I had to remove him. The next time I took him out to prevent him being attacked and she ate the fry! I think quite a few people remove the parents once they are free swimming.

melrick1 Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 just updating my kribs. the female began to be real protective against the male for about three days then the male killed the female.... the male is now a verry good dad and has a couple of hundred babys swimming around the tank with him and growing fast!

alanmin4304 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 If you siphon the babies out and rear them seperately it is the easiest way I think. They then go again in a short time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrick1 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 yeh it realy sux that she died. the male ended up attacking the sword tails aswell. the bubys are in a 30L tank and growing quick, I even have a couple in my big comunity tank that are surviving! neat little things and very active.
