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...

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?

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.

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?

My kribensis live in one of the caves I make, but just outside the cave entrance, I placed some nice plants that I thought would provide good cover for the fry. HOWEVER, the kribs are apparently unappreciative of my efforts and are dining on their plants. Are there any plants that they won't eat?

I have one male and three female kribensis. Any advice on conditions they require to breed?
