4 fry yeh its likely you could of sucked them up or your kribs could of ate them if its their first batch of fry. i think you can leave them with their parents for upto 5-6 weeks. some people leave them with the parents until they grow about an inch long. some parents eat the fry after so long. it is up to youbut when my kribs breed i will be leaving the babies up to them. if i was you i would leave them be. kribs are excellent parents and they willl most probbbly take good care of them
good luck

leave them with the parents until the parents no longer show any care for them. Then move the young fish out.
