Kribs had babies!!

[Brockway]

Walked by my tank and noticed what I thought was a big pile of fish poo... Was about to get out the siphon when I noticed them swimming around! I put the male and female together in my 29 on the 4th (female had been in the tank for a week or so before cause I couldn't tell males from females at the time), and they already had babies! It was neat watching them suck up the babies and blow them back into their little flower pot cave.

Way to go Brockway hearing a success story like that is what the hobby is all about my friend. Kribs are fairly easy and fun to breed it also shows your water quality is indeed good. Keep up the good work, its experiences like yours that help others towards learning about the fish hobby. Take care.

Best pictures I could get with my $20 digital camera.

I moved the parents and the fry to a 10g I have setup in my room. There are some target rosy red minnows in there so the mom doesn't try to scare away the dad.
