Kribs - What to do?!

[karma_llama]

A little advice needed -

After loosing their first spawn of fry (not sure why) my kribs just arent getting along. It's been about three weeks since the last of the fry vanished and the male chases the female everytime he sees her, she's starting to look very stressed. I havent got another tank to move her to and am not sure what to do.

Any advice?

well... they probably ate the spawn.. young parents will do that a few times ... i would take her out and try a new female if you want them to spawn... thats what i did and it worked out well... i didnt take my female out in time and he killed her.. i added a new female same day and now a week later they have fry already

Most likely she just inst ready to spawn again and hes hassling her to do so. Try to seperate them temporarily if it looks really bad.

A tank divider could work.

My brothers two kribs were a pair but they seemed to want to kill each other. With the information above, I have a better understanding of that behavoir now.

I'm going to remove the female from the pair and swap her with the 'spare' female i have in my 10 gal if i can catch her - these kribs are bloody quick!

Hopefully that will stop the hassling (sp?)

Thanks
