Hi you can buy tank dividers or alternatively go to any craft shop and buy something called plastic canvas, it comes in different size sheets and is perfect for dividing off sections of tank.

Also you may like to ask this is African Cichlids as Kribs are not new world cichlids!

You dont need a divider. Kribs are very protective. What else is in your tank, and what size? I would just leave them be.

The eggs and fry of kribs, as with most cichlids, are mostly vulnerable to nocturnal predators. During the day they're well guarded, but at night even a bristlenose may be able to sneak in and grab a mouthful of eggs. In your case a divider might be in order, in my opinion, to protect the fry from the knifefish at night.

many thanks , thought the knife fish may be a problem.
