Hello everyone, I could use some advice please. I have a well established 4ft tank with lots of seemingly happy fish. However, on saturday morning I noticed the number of fish in my tank increased by about 200. I can't believe how many babies my kribs have had. Both parents are doing a fantastic job so far. All the other fish in my tank have been restricted to the opposite end of the tank, occupying about 1ft. When the fry swarm out of their plantpot for small excursions, both mum and dad shepherd them around, taking stragglers into their mouth and re-depositing them into the wriggling mass of siblings. It's a joy to watch, if not a little nerve racking.
This morning the fry seem to be between 3mm and 5mm from tip to tip. Should I be thinking about taking the whole krib family out and relocating them into a 2ft tank I have? I worry this might stress the parents and cause them to eat the younguns though. Or, should I just transfer thew fry? Or, should I just leave them all be?
I look forward to your thoughts and advice.
Regards
Ron.
