| Well The other female has just left the other cave with what looked like a dust ball around her looking closer there must be over 30+ fry with her!!!
Im now unsure what to do as the fry i first sighted has moved from the coconut with mum to near the Hydor aerator (this is unpluged as the fry will get sucked into it)
I got 3 options:
1 - leave them in the tank with mum
2 - try and catch them and put in the mesh breeding trap i got
3 - try and catch them and put them in the little 18L tank I have but its not set up as of yet (its squeezed under the shell tank atm)

| I'd leave them. As long as the parents are doing a good job then leaving them should be fine. Once they are 'free swimming' and not as dependant on Mum then I'd move them to the little tank. | |

| not sure, 10 days or so. I like to leave the kribs 3-4 weeks as they don't tend to spawn again until the fry are removed so the longer I leave them the more rest the female gets. | |

| Aah GD, thats a shame, sorry about that. At least they have spawned once though so it can happen again and perhaps you will be luckier then. | |
