ten_roses Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 How long should I leave my krib fry in the tank with the parents? I heard that soem times especially when the parents are ready to have a new brood of fry that they may eat the already existing brood of fry, is this true? Has anyone experienced this? Should I leave my fry with the parents until I am ready to sell them or should I separate them into my fry tank? Thanks I also heard that the parents will start to fight with each other if you leave the fry with them for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 if you have a fry tank I would seperate them as soon as the parents stop trying to bring them all back into the same group, especially if the female strates to colour and fatten up again.

ten_roses Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Thanks for the advice. Have you bred kribensis before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 The fry should be removed before the parents try to spawn again, when they are starting to spawn again the parents will probably eat them. Fights can occur when one of the parents tries to chase awawy the fry or eat them in preparation for the new fry and the other parent sees it and tries to defend the babies beating the other parent.

F15hguy Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 :gpo2: kribs are one of my favs to breed, just the cuteness factor and the ease of raising fry. don't fuss too much, you'll soon end up with more than you can get rid of.
