Kribs

Think my kribs have laid eggs. Had the male and female now for about 3 days since had 2 neons and a ram have disappeared?

they get incredibly feisty when breeding, could well be the cause of the deaths......unless you have something else that would attack and eat those fish in there?

no all my other fish a peaceful. i have took the female back to the shop as the pair were dominating the whole tank.

Did you give the Krib pair "Hobsons choice" in terms of a breeding cave i.e. the only thing possible to become a cave in one corner of the tank, with a spare cave on the opposite diagonal in case they ague with each other?

By not giving the Kribs anything centrally to make a home, you are maximising the safety zone for the tankmates.

My kribs killed my balloon rams the day after the kribs spawned. I could tell they murdered them because the rams were missing scales and chunks of fin.

Although you cannot blame everything on kirbs, I had neons also in my krib tank, and they slowly disappeared, and now i have none lol (or maybe you can blame the kibs ). Although neons aren't the heartiest of fish. Check your ammonia levels, if they are high it could be a sign of decomposing fish somewhere in your tank.
