[cichlid-mad]

Hey i have 2 kribs that have fry but next tuesday im getting sand theres 2 questions i want to ask.

1) is sand ok with the fry

2) can i catch the fry and parents while i change the gravel for sand?

thanks dennis

Yes it is possible to catch them, but i think the stress would probably kill the fry and suitably annoy the parents enough to put them off mating again.

should it be ok?

why do you have to change the sand now?
imo i would wait for the fry to grow bigger, then move them to another tank, on their own, without the parents.

because if you do move them at an early stage, like DarkEntity said, you will stress the fry and parents.
