I had kribensis have 3 breeds and each time the next morning the fry population diminishes until they are all gone in my community tank. I have since put the pair in a aquarium along 6 zebra danios. The parents really protect the fry. If I put the blue moonlight light on the led during the night...

I have a pair of kribensis that have bred for the 3rd time in my community 46 gallon. None of the fry make it past a few days. I cycled a 20 gallon high with the purpose of putting them in it. My question is should I just put them alone in the 20 or should I put some dither fish, say zebra...

Are Kribebsis safe with zebra danios Using zebra danios as dither fish are kribensis fry safe in a tank with them. It seems they are one fish that just seems to swim around the top of the aquarium that my breeding pair are currently in. I am moving the breeding pair in a 20 gallon and I read...

I have a pair of breeding kribensis that I will put in a 20 gallon tank. Do you think if I put zebras in as dither fish they would leave the fry alone? Since they are mostly top swimmers and small they seem like they would.

Thanks for the Aq Advisor tip. It's a pretty cool tool!

My question is do you think the very small tiger barbs will be accepted in my 46 with 5 much larger tiger barbs or should I just leave them in the 20 with the kribensis? I wanted to keep...

I live in Pa so it should take no more than 2 days to arrive from NY. So with the cool spring weather it should be ok?

I wasn't clear with my original title. I saw from a website called Angel Plus that they sell cycled sponge filters. There is also a YouTube video. Has any one tried them? He claims that by running this filter your aquarium is instantly cycled. Any thoughts?

Will running a sponge filter say 4-5 weeks in an established grow enough bacteria to help cycle a new 55 gallon aquarium. Also how much bacteria is on rocks or plastic plants also from an established aquarium to help cycle?

Will the fry survive in a community tank or will the parents lose out protecting them
