Posted	Kribs
04-04-2006 16:20 by Woz	Hey people, I bought a pair of Kribs on Saturday, male and female as that was what i was advised to do plus i hoped in the long run they would breed, when i got hope i popped them in a 2foot aquarium of their own and on monday afternoon the female laid eggs inside a small cave in the tank. So, basically anyone have any tips on what i should do now? eg raising fry, spliting parents, foods, temperatures, do's and don'ts etc. Anything will be appricated. Cheers

Once the fry are free swimming feed them baby brine shrimp or a high quality powdered food (ZM do an excellent quality fry food). I only split parents if one turns violent or if they are mouthbrooders (give the female a chance to re-fuel. Feed fry a few times a day with regular water changes for good growth.
