i have breed kribs a lot now they will not stop.
when they first started breeding there was a plec in the tank which i witnesses eating the fry.(basically charged them down). but when i took the plec out they are breeding fine (machines) the male has been "servicing" 2 other females. so plec's can be a problem just depends on there size and if there are intimadating the kribs.
kribs are very good at look aftering there fry and will guard them and sheperd them around the tank which is fun to watch

The baby kribs will be fine with their parents,but I would suggest moving them all(mother,father and fry) out into another tank(if you have one),because your other tank inhabitants would be a threat to the babies.

wud you say ive got any fish that could harm the fry and wud it not upset the parents if i move them to another tank

My clown loaches and congo tetras eat prawns. These are bigger than alot of fry. Why not try posting in the cichlid section,to ask if anyone has any experience of kribs and their fry. I am sure alot of people do.
