There are about 15 fry that are alive and well. Both parents are very attentive and take them out for most of the day. When the day's over I shut the light in the tank but leave the room light on. I guess she thinks it's evening because she makes a couple of trips and spits all the fry back into...

Yeah, I was shocked to have 75 one day then 3 the next. Couldn't figure out why they had eaten the rest and chose to guard the cave with only 3. The next day I was more shocked to find 10 in there. I think they're playing with my head.

That's what I'm thinking.

My kribs spawned, the fry hatched (about 75) and the all but 3 disappeared the second day. Now 4 days later at least 10 of them have reappeared in the cave! I don't think the parents moved them as they never were guarding another area. Plus why would you move all but three? Because I have larger...

Personally, I would leave the gravel.

My krib tank has started growing green hair algae on the plants. The kribs pick at it but don't really put too much of a dent in it. Is there any fish that will eat this stuff?

Oh she certainly looks pregnant. But my experience with platys is that they breed constantly.

Sorry about that. Those tiger barbs have stripes for a reason.

My male krib is shaking violently and swimming backwards in front of the female. Mating ritual I hope?

Got a pic of my krib guarding the front door to the cave. I can only hope.

Finally got some pix of my Kribs such as they are...they are patrolling their cave.

My pleco loves to ride the air bubbles to the top, fight against them to the bottom and ride them back up. He will do this for minutes at a time. I think he is mentally unstable. Anyway, check your pH. I've had many plecos and have not seen them swim to the surface. Abnormal pH can try to...

I was just at my LFS. I asked if an albino krib and a kribensis pulchra would mate. They said yes, but something about the way they answered made me wonder. Will they and if so, what will these mutts look like and is it unhealthy for the fry?

Last post on this subject. All raffle winner rocks have been shipped and should be receiving them late this week/early next. Thx! :)

I have a small female krib whose belly is swollen and very red. Does this mean she has eggs? Also, of the three kribs I have, I thought I had a male and 2 females. The more I look at them I think I have 2 males and a female. What sort of trouble am I looking at and what should I do?
