Krib Fry And Their New Tank.

i dont know if you have read my post from the other day about my krib eggs being infertile, those of you who didn't read, the eggs were notinfertile after all and now i ahev some krib fry, they are not free swimming, but today decided to make a D.I.Y filter and setup a 5gal tank ready for them.
they should be free swimming in 2-3 days, ill keep you posted on their progress.
anyway heres a few pics

1 more fry pic,



You can't see them very well because they are still real small and im using my 2.0 mega pixel camera
when they get a little bigger and when i move them into their own tank then ill get more pics

They look great. Just out of interest (I don't want any, I'm not trying that tactic ) but what on earth do you do with so many fry, if they all grow up without any trouble. Can you keep that many, or do people sell them on, or what?

Congratulations on the breeding, and that is a pretty good fry tank. I was extremely lucky, I had a very good pair and they took care of the fry for about a month, and my involvement consisted of squirting BBS into the tank 3-4 times a day. Afterwards, I moved the fry to a larger grow out tank. I actually had an arrangement with a lfs, which is possible to do for store credit or supplies.

yes like lljdma06 said just either sell them to a petstore, which they are more than welcome to take some if they are in good health, or you can just sell them off locally.
i haven't got that many, its their first batch and they have around 15, so not a real problem
its so exciting watching the parents care for them, my mum and dad love watching them, think i might get them into the hobby

p.s some of the fry have started to venture out of their cave, but mum wont have none of it lol she doesn't think the time is right to enter the open world of 20gallons
