RE: krib spawning for the first time

[Matthew Rogers <mattrogers@totalise.co.uk>]

Teresa,

I've had a number of problems with spawning kribs, particularly with the 
parents falling out. I've never known what actually sparks them off, but they 
regularly end up arguing, consequently I tend to seperate them once they have 
fallen out for the first time. If you have space I would suggest removing the 
female and the wrigglers to a spare tank where they can grow up in relative 
safety. Can you see whether the wrigglers are still present?

Cheers,

Matt.
