Re: Kribensis spawning has begun

Oh my goodness, that's amazing news - I'm beyond excited for you. It's likely that the fry are now free swimming on the bottom of the tank, so take a close look and just sit still for a bit, you might see what looks like the sand or gravel moving around. I'm literally bursting with excitement for ...

Re: Kribensis spawning has begun

Re: Kribensis spawning has begun

Wish I'd separated mine sooner, now I'm left with just three.
When you do separate them, keep a close eye on the parents to make sure mum isn't still mouthbrooding, that's a crucial step to avoid any losses.
