I couldn't get mum and babe both in focus together but you can see the size difference here

Mum is lost in her own reflection whilst some of the babies eat

Thank you! I seem to spend half the night staring at them when I am meant to be sleeping...

Becks, if you are reading this, how are your babies doing??

Thank you! I have loved the whole experience so far, it has been so great! I don't think I will be raising any more though as I am planning to use my spare 2ft for bettas :p once the babies have used it for a grow out tank (currently they live in my other 2ft with mum! )

Hey up sorry not been on for a while (WORK) :blink:
Anyhows mine are doing fantastic too
Unfortunately had to take dad out as they started to argue a little
When I did , mum wasnt too happy , so I have taken her out too and put her in community with dad until I can set up another tank for them to breed again, however they seem to be pretty much ignoring each other and not being aggressive etc
So my krib babies are in the fry tank with angel babies at the moment, doing fantastic will try and get some pics for you soon .... Oh and I counted them when transferring 45 in total !!!

Tibby, sorry dont want to hijack your post , cant believe it the dad I had seperated , but I have another female in another tank that seemed to look a bit lonely so thought , hey ho , both look lonely and desperate for love, put them together late last night !!!
Cant believe it just had a quick look with the torch in the coconut cave , and LOADS of eggs AGAIN !!!
So looks like its starting all over again !!! Just glad I have a Brill LFS that will HOPEFULLY take them

Kribs anyone ??!!! Lots of em ! ha ha
 
No worries, i am happy to share my post! :p More babies? LOL! You will be overrun! I don't think I am gonna breed again as the growout tank I am gonna use is kinda earmarked for some bettas after these babes go..... but hey, I change my mind ll the time!
How much will your LFS give you for your babies by the way? I haven't finalised anything yet though there is a shop that said they were interested once they are old enough......

I havent spoken about prices yet (not for the kribs anyway) is a reasonably new LFS that I came across with new owners that seem to prefer taking fish from local breeders rather than buying in ,,, I will let you know once I have further details tho, if not I have a few tanks spare :blush: Addicted is not the word with me !! ha ha
this will be the last time I let them breed tho I think ... I dont want to end up with loads of fish and no where to put them
