Update on my little Kribensis fry - they're growing like crazy. I had to swap out my penguin filter for a sponge filter on Thursday night, and when I got home, I couldn't find any of the fry swimming around in the tank. Luckily, I knew they hadn't been eaten, since they're the only ones in my 25 ...

Aww, lovely. I'm a bit nostalgic now, lol. My Kribs spawned again recently, and I was planning to siphon the eggs out since I'm out of space, but the youngsters beat me to it - they ate them all. The parents were helpless, just watching. Guess it's extra protein for the growing ones, right?

I'm thrilled to finally have some good news to share - after months of searching, I've found a young pair of Kribensis. I've been hitting every local fish store for what feels like an eternity, but it was eBay that eventually came through for me. I'm beyond excited, as these fish are right up there ...
