Just noticed that I have 2 tiny baby kribensis! I didn't even know she was preggers?! They are swimming close to the wooden cave with the dad guarding them, just wondering how do I look after them like how would I move them to a Aquarium Net Breeder. Its a community tank and would prefer them to not get eaten. Thanks for the help will get some picks up as soon as I have a good pic!
Baby Kribensis

No need to do anything! Kribs are wonderful parents and will look after them and guard them fiercely from your other fish. They will feed on insuforia in the tank then on to fish flake which the parents will bring to them, and when they are big enough they will swim around the tank with the parents guarding them! Dont be surprised if they die - the fact you only have 2 is a very low number and they are probably young parents - you should leave the fry in for them to learn parenting. The older they get the more eggs she will lay and the more sucessful they will be in rearing them.

Although you might have had a surprise in your tank, egg layers are not at all like livebearers, like mollies.
An egg layer is often able to lay a fresh bunch of eggs every 7 to 10 days. That mneans that under the proper condition the egg layers, like kribs, could easily breed every week or so.

My Kribs are also breeding, have you seen them do there belly dance? and has the female dug a cave? my female has dug 3! in a 90 litre tank
Not surprisingly those two fry didn't survive long. However, just had a good look in their cave, (using a torch to see into it) and there looks to be about 20-30 little shimmering eggs, seem very active ( for eggs) so im guessing at the moment they are eating away at their egg yoke, and will be free swimming over the next few days. Pretty impressed with them, they must be very randy it was 6 days since I last saw the two fry and they already have new eggs. Never saw them doing any kinda belly dance or anything, however did notice they had dug two holes in the sand. With the babies now in one of those which is under the coconut shell. Bit gutted they aint using the bog wood, that i spent ages looking for in my LFS to make sure it was in a cave type shape! Will try and keep people updated on this and get some pictures this time!
