Where Have My Krib Fry Gone?

[shelaghfishface]

both yesterday and this morning i can only spot 2 out of about 30, they were a fair size and the parents were looking after them,although the tank is very heavily planted i cant see them anywhere ( always do eventually), the parents are still looking after the other 2 thats are left,so surley if they have eaten the others they would have eaten these last 2 too
im gutted, but nature is nature i spose
any advice??

oooh have found 4 more, so where are the rest??

Kribs are good parents and are not supposed to eat the fry, unti they have another spawn. Is there any other fish in the tank who could be the culprit? The parents sometimes move them...could they be tucked away in another hiding spot?

thers a clown loach in there, but i cant see him getting close enuff,or even being inclined to eat them anyway... thanks sharon, ill just keep hoping that they are hiding..
