Re: is this a false pregnancy?

I did design the tank with a 30 inch length in mind when I brought the Kribs home. Guess the male Krib must have been watching some questionable videos in his spare time - he was a model dad with the first batch. They had eggs just 9 days after I removed the 8 week old babies.
