 Don't you know? Fish are meant to drive you crazy.  They've been
 indocrinated:   'Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to drive
 humans round the bend.  Make sure you are as unpredictable as possible so
 that every experience is a learning experience.'  :):)

I, too, had given up on my kribs spawning just three days ago.  This morning 
I saw my male krib hovering over some odd looking gravel....  fry!  The 
female adult krib was wandering the other end of the tank just as always.  I 
don't think she guarded the eggs, as I've been watching her behaviors.  Maybe 
the male was?  He's certainly tending to them now without her help.  

Anyone else witness this behavior of the male tending with fry without the 
female?

And to think I almost pulled the parents out in frustration.
