I have bred lots of Kribs. I presently have a female with about a 100 fry in
a 20g tank. It was necessary to remove the male from the tank in this case
as he was eating the fry. The mother did her best to keep him away but it
was a constant battle. I have had other breeding pairs when both were good
parents.
