I've had 2 kribs for a few months now and I've been waiting for this day! At first, I thought the male was going to kill the female, but I went out of town for a few days and when I came home, they had paired up. They staked out their territory and then I waited...and waited...and waited.

I never saw eggs or noticed any different behavior from the mom and dad, but then today, I was sitting on the couch and thought I saw something in the water near the Daddy krib. Sure enough, it was a little krib fry!

Here's the daddy with the 2 babies down below...

Here's the best shot I could get of one of the fry - teeny tiny little guys!

Another shot of the 2 little ones.

I'll try and get some better shots in the next couple days, I was just so excited to see these this afternoon!

Thanks for the heads up on that. The fry are already bigger than I would have expected to see. Who knows, there may have been more than 2 and this is all that's left. Hopefully they make it though, it'd be fun to watch!
