 | Think my Kribs are spawning... |

Since I introduced a male krib last week, the female is vigourly displaying breeding colour and behavious. More recently, I found out the female is staying in her cave for a lot more of the time. And the male guarding a territory around the cave. Just today, I found the female in the cave sort of upside down and rubing her tummy against the roof. And the male just stays at the entrance of the cave, chase off any fish that comes into sight. Does this mean they are going to have babies soon? I will buy some freeze dried food for them today. Hope it will help with conditioning them. Jimmy  |

I peeped into the cave with a flash light, and I saw EGGS!!! At least hundreds of them sticking on the roof of the cave, mom is constantly cleaning them with her mouth. The eggs all seem to be kind of cream coloured, I assumed that means they are all fertilized. Now, I'm just going to wait and not to disturb them again. How exciting!!!  |
