Confuesed!?!?!

[Balloons&killies]

Hi guys,

Well as you heard my kribs spawned and were doing good.

But know my male has chased the female away and is in and out of where the eggs were layed.
I feel bad because he goes after my female now everytime she gets close. She is kinda hangin out in a cave with my festivum cichlid and the male will refuse to go in there.
Can someone tell me whats going on??!!??

Sounds like they are having an argument on who keeps the kids. If the female looks really stressed out, move her into a new tank.

Well she looked pretty stressed the other night but today shes just courting the male constantly like before.but no fry yet lol

Will she eat the fry?
Do you still think that there is eggs?

 

[kribensis12]

She shouldn't eat the fry. I have no idea if there are eggs. It's possible that they laid and they never hatched.

 

[Balloons&killies]

Maybe. but could it be that my temp is alittle low?(+24)and there taking alittle more time hatching?

 

[kribensis12]

That is very unlikely. You should want the temp around 78 to 80 degrees (like 27-28 C)
