Sunday I replaced my gravel with pool filter sand and before I was finished my kribs were digging & making little caves. The female has been in the cave for a few days and we suspected eggs were involved. Tonight my wife was looking in the cave with a flashlight & saw them! I got babies! ;D  they just look like dark sand but they're wiggling away. I just hope that they don't eat them. Any advice? |

Now that they are born, I would let nature take its course- and feed crushed flakes.

Less than a week old and the fry are nearly 1/4" long and very active. The parents are super protective and chase the danios up to the top of the tank when they get close. Man, Kribs are awesome parents!   |

Congrats. Kribs really are great parents. I had a pair several years ago that would breed in a community tank and I would usually end up with 8-15 babies making it from each batch without doing anything. Plus they are pretty popular and most pet stores will give you some store credit for them.
