Kribs Paired Up And Laid Eggs

[chophousemusic]

So i noticed the difference in behavior...it seemed like the male krib used to always harass the female and she would hide in the corner by the heater or under this piece of wood/cave ...but finally after about 3 weeks they paired up and have been swimming around the tank together. So I decide to check out under this cave where the female is always at, and stuck to the roof was a bunch of about 30 eggs. So i put the wood back down. Now the crazy thing is i dont think my tank is even still fully cycled. I test daily and have not seen any levels of nitrite yet. Ive been doing water changes to keep the ammonia levels below .25. My tank has only been up for 3 or 4 weeks now. So what do i do? Do I get a small 10-20gal tank? Do i put a divider in my 75 gal tank? Do I just leave them and let nature take its course? Some say to separate the fry if there end up being any? Or separate the breeding pair in its own tank? Am I supposed to feed them anything special? ..I only have flakes..Best water temp and Ph? etc...

Any help in answering any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.

The parent's will take care of the fry for a couple of weeks. Then they need to be seperated( or left to fend for thier own). The fry will grow the fastest on BBS( Baby Brine Shrimp). I buy it frozen, ALOT easier than hatching your own.
