    went home for lunch today and decided to look into my community tank to see if all my fish are doing fine and so on when I noticed my purple krib casing all the other fish away from him. looked a bit closer and I saw the female and about 15 fry swimming around the bottom. now for the Questions....

    1. what can I feed them besides crushed flakes because BBS is on a short supply here and they are in my community tank so it would be almost impossible to feed them that.

    2. how long will the parents look after them, or should I try to move them into there own tank?

    I will post some pics later night

    Great stuff Gareth

    I also have that problem with a community tank. If you want to feed one fish somthing everybody jumps in and that fish is the only one not to get any.

    Do like them :bigsmile:purple fish
