there about 1cm and theres roughly 100, should i put them in a breeding net?

will this stop the aggresion of the adults and will they survive if i seperate them?
 
What i would do is seperate the male, so the mom can keep taking care of the babies( they will be hea;thier with a parents care), and then there is no aggression. The babies always do better with the mom becasue she can protect them, feed them, and clean them.
 
I used to have one kribensis on her own, but when I introduced cockatoo cichlids she wouldn't let them be and wouldn't tolerate any other bottom dwellers. They're nice to look at, but not my favourite cichlid. I'm not that experienced with fry, but good luck :good:
 
ok thanks, i would seperate the male but there really is no room anywhere, in my little tank i have cherry shrimp and 4 ottos, the cherrys are breeding which iv been hoping for and in the breeding net i have the 4 cardinals so im kind of stuck
 
just leave the baby's they will be fine. There is more chance the male/female eating them if you scare them or irritate them by poking about in the tank. Once Kribs breed they are always aggressive, its a standard theme with nearly all Cichlids.
