krib eggs

[powwowcoolio]

my krib has laid egg two days ago how long till they hach and how can you tell if the eggs are firtile or not as i am new to the hobby and only know the basics any help will be welcomed thanks.

Kribs eggs hatch in 3-8 days - I don't know how to tell if they are fertile or not as I have never seen my krib's eggs They generally lay between 10 and 300 eggs and they are prolific breeders, so if this batch is not fertile then it is likely that the next lot will be. Stick with it and you may see mama krib looking after a load of little wigglers very soon.

Cheers, Eddie

my krib has laid them in full view for all to see, they are an amber colour and there is about 40 of them.

Unusual but not unheard of - normally they like to lay in a cave or similar. A colour from yellow to dirty orange is apparently normal for krib eggs. Sounds like you could be expecting some babies in the very near future

Sorry Danny, I know nothing about keyholes. Hopefully CichlidMaster will pick up on this as he knows everything there is to know about cichlids.
