hi, i have 4 kribs(1 male, 3 female) along with many small community fish in my 4ft tank. two of them are often digging under a piece of bogwood which they guard for a few days then give up. but since yesterday they have dug under it a lot more than before, and the male is with a different female that hasn't spawned before, so is there some hope. i can see the females egg tube is wide open today, so when about might she spawn. i know the male is fertile, as there were some babies from 1 of the other females a while ago, but they never made it past a couple of days old. i have more plants then before for cover, so i'm hoping that they will be successful this time. i feed them live earthworms every Saturday, but i won't tomorrow so i don't disturb them. the male is guarding from the outside of the wood, while the female is under it, so i'm staying hopeful.
cheers

they have already absorbed their yolk sacs, and they appear to be feeding on some microscopic food on my bogwood? do i need to feed them anything, and if so what is the best food for them? i have read that it isn't necessary to feed them at first and that they will just grow a lot slower. is this true?
