Congrats on the babies.

How are they doing?

Kribs are a fish I've never actually kept, even though they are lovely to look at. I'm happy enough to admire yours I think.

The nice thing about kribs is you don't have to feed the frys = the parents make sure they get enough food. The bad thing about kribs is the parents make sure little kribs become big kribs. So when-ever you have little kribs you should expect to eventually have a lot more big kribs.

I think there are 4 that have survived, the parents are more laid back, leaving the fry alone quite often and I'm pretty sure they've eaten the others.... Not sure cherry barbs would eat the fry as their mouths are quite small I've just left them to it and not done anything extra, it's their first spawn so we'll see what happens next time

Ah, that's a shame!! I wish I could get algae in my 54L haha. But knowing my luck it'll end up in the wrong tank.
