To put you in the picture I have in one of my tanks a pair of Kribs that have just had their second batch of fry.
I did ask twice on here if I should remove the dither fish as I was worried about the fry getting eaten/picked off one by one, I got no answer so I removed the dithers, I did leave the lone Hatchet fish as I thought it didn't pose much of a threat plus it is hovering on the surface most of the time and perhaps giving the illusion of safety to the Kribs.
So now the Kribs along with their 70+ fry are more or less on their own in a 100L tank with a few caves and live plants.
So my question: At the moment the fry are following mum and dad around and are only a few days old so they are picking bits off the substrate, I'm not over feeding the adults I'm trying to be careful on that score.
So when the fry do get bigger and like I say there must be around 70 possibly more, when is the right time/size to rehome them?
I have 8 of the first batch still in a 20L tank, they are doing well but they are only about 1/2" long and still small and possibly fish food for a larger fish so again what size is best/safe to rehome them?
