Very nice! I must say, your kribs are beautiful. I myself own a kribensis, though I don't own a female. The female looks magnificent, as does the male. How do you plan to raise the fry?
 
I'm so excited, this is their third spawn, first got nowhere, second got to wigglers, this time I've got my fingers crossed!  As they didn't make it past wiggler stage last time because daddy got frisky again, I'm going to remove the parents I think if I get to swimmers, I'm hesitant to take them away before that.
 
When my kribs fry use to become free swimmers or when there still eating there sacs, I would use a large 60ml syringe with a length of airline tubing and suck them all out at night lol. I managed to get 2 spawns of 100 without any problems this way.
 
they're already in my fry tank, so I don't need to move the babies just the parents
 
she seems to be done spawning, but she still has a couple eggs hanging outta her tummy, not sure what to make of that
 
ok so! I took daddy out and mommy is still guarding and fanning the eggs.  She's lost most of her color so I'm just hoping she's in full on mommy mode and I'll get some beebees outta this batch. It's just her and the eggs in the tank right now. No distractions. I'm just so excited.
 
I left my parents in with the fry after they'd hatched , mother and father moved them around the tank both very good parents both raised lots of young , got an old video somewhere on my phone I'll upload it to youtube in a few minutes and post it here , had problems cleaning the tank with them because once one lot of young were swimming freely they'd already started raising another batch , good luck with them .
 
will take a look at them later! but just took a pic of my mommy fish guarding her eggy cave!

I can't look at your videos, I don't know if you have them set as public or not but it won't let me see them.
