Billaney Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 YES its happened !! We noticed this morning what looked like a cloud of sand moving under the kribs and when we looked closely there were heaps of baby kribs ! Not sure how many or if there is still more in the cave but there up and free swimming. Looks awesome!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Are you sure its baby kiribs? Perhaps it is really what the marine guys call "live sand" :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livebearer_breeder Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Sounds cool, lets hope they dont venture into the guppy half, my suggestion would be to remove the guppys and the partition Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I've followed your advice Shae and moved the Guppies and devider, the Kribs now have the 25 gallon tank to themselves and I think there going to need it there must be 100+ fry, its just so cool !!

Caryl Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I hope it's still cool when, like Ira, you have hundreds of young fish to get rid of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 The first spawning is always the coolest Caryl. If all goes well Paul i might come in a week or 2 and grab a couple. Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Congrats Paul, and now the addiction grows, progression from livebearers to egg layers, what is the next fish on the list for you Good Luck raising them. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billaney Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Just an update We moved the Kribs last night and I can confirm that two weeks down the track we still have 113 krib fry and two very tired krib fry catchers ... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: those little things hide so well on gray substrate. !! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 IMHO it is getting close to getting the parents out before they eat the babies. I had mine free swimming the other day, and will be removing M&D on day 10. One week to go. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
