Krib Fry Much!

[Ben M]

hi, as you may know, i gave my brother my breeding pair of kribs so i could get some corys. previously they have only ever had about 10 babies, but for the last month they have been digging out a cave. the male dug it out and guarded it for over a week, then for the last week the female was inside, and she had blocked the entrance with sand, leaving only a small hole from which she emerged every so often to go to another cave that the male also dug out. this morning when my brother looked into the tank, he saw about 100 fry with the male guarding!!! i am guessing that there were eggs in both caves. ATM they are eating the microscopic organisms on the sand, wood and slate, and when they grow a bit they will be fed on crushed flake. will they need a grow out tank when they get bigger, as the tank they are in is a juwel lido 120, so it only holds 120l of water.

Wow congratulations That's a lot of fry.

yep, there are billions, i don't know what we can do with them, i'm assuming that they'll need a grow out tank, but what size will be needed? and how much could i sell them for to a shop, or person?

cheers

They're ten a penny, so you won't be able to sell them for much. Some folk I know have had to give them away as nobody would take them and Kribs breed easy.

Congrats though and have fun raising them
