That cave is barely visible now.

Female's looking quite keen.


Male (new guy, arrived Tuesday) is already making moves.

As I said, I only got him on Tuesday, and they've bonded instantly. Both are proven breeders, but they'd lost their partners.
This could get real interesting - Angels on the hunt for fry, while the Krib parents are on high alert. Size-wise, are the adult Kribs and Angels pretty much on par?

theres 2 larger Angels & 2 small, the small ones keep their distance. The kribs are fully grown but the Angels steer clear, soon as they see the female they're off.

No eggs now, must've eaten them. She was out and about with the male this morning, so I checked mid afternoon and they're gone. Both are showing signs of trying again though, so fingers crossed.

Don't stress, they'll get the hang of it. It's normal for them to have a few failed attempts before they start spawning successfully.
