Sick Mother

Hi guys, my pair of Kribs bred recently and currently have 4 day old fry in my community tank. They have both been looking after the fry, but today the female just spent her time hanging at the other end of the tank slightly listlessly and she's looking paler. What could it be...? The father is still looking after the babies.

Any help would be appreciated...

 

When my Kribs bred, the male and female tolerated each other at first, but after a few days the male showed some aggression towards her. It could either be aggression from the male or the female could still be properly recovering from the spawn. I've found that Kribs just sometimes have "off" days; but keep a watch on her.

 

Thanks Nirv, it seems that's what happened, becuase she's back with her brood and looking fine now. Relief.....

 

Good to hear. What are your plans with the brood for the future?

 

I need some females! DAMIT! I cant find in PE. . . . .

 

Now that, out of context, is very funny

Maybe someone is breeding some out your way?

 

Going to let them grow for a bit with the parents in my community tank and then move some to a 70l that I've set up, and leave the rest in the bigger tank. And then sell them when they're big enough, hopefully. Anyone interested?
