I Think My Krib May Have Laid Eggs? They Are Free Swmming!

Thanks guys! I will get picks as soon as I can. Right now I am in the process of setting up a couple tanks for the fry which will be linked by a sump filter.

Well, I returned to my dorm last night to find about 30 or so fry! Oh yeah!

Anyways, I am done with finals on Thursday, meaning I will be going back home. What is the best way to transfer the fry to?

Should I put the fry into a dedicated fry tank when I get back home and just set up the tank I have in my dorm back home and put the parents in there?

Or, should I put the parents and fry back together in one tank?

Also, I think I am going to transport the parents in one bag and the fry in another? What do you guys think of this?

Thanks!

no idea how far your going.. but based on a few miles i wouldnt put them all in same bags.. then i would raise the fry in different tanks as the parents are bound to spawn again,and then take against the first lot
tho i have limited exp of kribs as mine lasid once.. a few weeks later ate them and i moved house and gave them away
be interesting to see what you go with

ps.. congratulations.. my flippin blood pressure hit the roof last time

Thanks, shelaghfishface!

I think I am going to put the fry in a separate when I get back. The trip is about 50 miles.

It's just going to be really hard for me to separate the fry from their parents, both physically and emotionally!

Thanks!
