I have a mated pair of Kribsin my 75 community tank. The have nestled in underneath a rock formation on the extreme right hand side of my tank. Before that the were berrding ubderneath a peice of drift wood on the left side of the tank. The first time i saw fry i was elated but none survived. I went out and bought some ground cover in hopes that they would have a hiding place and a better chance of survival. Since then they haven't gone to that side of the tank, but have stayed under their rock,

Theproblem is that I have a UGF in the tank and everytime they breed they dig a hole, uncover the plate and the eggs fall between the cracks never to be seen again.

How can I get the fry to survive short of removing the pair tptb another tank. I was thinking other just covering the spot that they dug up, but i do t want to disrupt their spot. last timei did this they moved.

Also, what are the chances that i have a school of Kribs living underneath my UGF?

As soon as you see the fry maybe you oculd try putting them in a breeding net in the tank and try and feed them off of micro worms or other fry food

I've heard a few too many stories about the mess people find when they tear down a tank housing an UGF. I've only used HOB filters so I don't have any experiances with UGF but I can't really recall ever hearing much good about them. Is there any chance you can switch out to a differant form of filtration? If I recall correctly, UGFs are made up of a few pieces for larger tanks, so if you can switch - maybe one piece at a time so hopefully wont disturb the tank too much?
