Or water, cause there have several post recently about new krib fry, and this one is no exception. 
I've had this pair for mabey 8 weeks now? Could be shorter. I've been waiting for it, because they have been digging and chasing for several weeks.
My wife and I were able to watch something amazing last night. Not five minutes after we turned off the lights I was over beside the tank and I could not figure out what in the world the female was doing. At first I thought she was picking food out of the gravel, and then taking back into her clay pot. I said ok, mabey she is getting little bits of food for the fry mabey? Nope. She was sucking up the fry, 3-4 at a time, and putting them into the pot for the night. We watched a good 15 minutes as she done this untill she wrangled all of them togeather in the pot. It was so neat to be able to watch this behavior. As the female was going about her duties, the male kept makeing circles around the parameter of the teritory keeping the lemon tetras at bay. Agian, very cool to witness first hand. This morning they fry kept tring to get out of the pot, but the female didn't want them out yet and kept sucking them up, and spiting them in the pot.
Here is a few pictures of the fry. Sorry for the quality, it was getting late, and the female did not like the flash and kept moving the brood around behind plants making it difficult for me to get some clear shoots. I would guess and say there is around 40-50 fry in total.
