Kribensis breeding

This is my first blog so bear with me. This one is following my kribensis breeding. I bought the kribs from a fish store 2 months ago. The female has laid eggs for me once, about 3 weeks ago, but my pleco got all the eggs the 2nd night. My female is full of eggs and today is the 2nd day of starvation. I will do a 40% wc then a large feeding of blood worms to see if that will get them in the mood.

Good luck.

I would remove the pleco or the results will be much the same.

I put the pleco in a seperate area, I did the water change and did a large feeding of bloodworms. They are very defensive and very colorful. The female is cleaning areas and the male is shivering everywhere.

Best of luck Gouramiguy.
Glad to see you have a blog now. They come in handy when you're trying to keep track of things.
Keep us posted.

I can see the females vent today so I'm hoping they will spawn today.

Ok they spawned today!!!! I can't see the eggs because they bred in one of my coconut caves. I know because her stomach is very skinny and she stays in her coconut and the male is very defensive. I have the pleco in a breeder box.

What are some good fry foods besides ground up flakes and frozen bbs? Should I start an infursia culture?

The eggs should be hatching sometime soon, is there anyway that I could check to see without flipping the cave?

Well they had sort of lost interest in the eggs so I lifted the coconut and didn't see anything. I am asuming that they ate the eggs this time because the pleco got the eggs the first time and the pleco is in a breeder box

Yipee, ok so I was going around and stirring up poop(literally) and I lifted one of my coconut huts and saw the side covered in eggs! I think there was atleast 150 eggs. I immedatly put the pot back and the female darted right back into it and the male started attacking my arm. Yipee, I put the pleco in the breeder box so he won't get the eggs

Yipeee! The eggs are still alive as I can see them without disturbing them. I think they layed them Friday night so they should hatch... Today! Or tomorrow

Well today I looked in my coconut and I didn't see any fry so I was a bit sad, but later my mom said" why is the female in this corner? I looked and the female was guarding a pile of fry. I am so happy.

Well I was gone and my sisters had some friends over and decided to show off my bettas jumping skills, well my kribs thought they were going to et fed so they came to the top and my betta dived to the bottom and went to te pile and chowed down, there were 10 left after that. Then my syno cat got a bit hungry then finished off the rest. Oh well, there's always next time.

They spawned yesterday!!! The female was very skinny and her eggs tube was out. Yesterday was a great day; I got to go to the Oklahoma aquarium then my kribs spawned! Let's hope my luck will keep going because I am going to look at a fishtank today.

Cool treefork!
Well I got another tank and my
parents are very strict about 1 tank rule and they want to get rid of the tank asap but my kribs have thier spawn in there, should I talk my parents into waiting a couple weeks before I switch tanks or would it be ok to switch the eggs over to the other tank?
