i got home from work today and surprise! the kribs i have laid eggs in a hollowed out piece of driftwood. What now? I reallly thought they were still too juvenile for that! I dont know what to do about it though. That tank seems to do pretty well when i dont interfear too much so i may just keep that up. Any advice?

Kribs are usually pretty good parents. A lot of young cichlid parents may eat the first few spawns, so don't get too discouraged if that happens. I would get some fry food: either frozen baby brine shrimp, decapsulated brine shrimp or golden pearls.
At this point your best bet would be to remove any other fish in the tank. When the fry get free swimming start feeding them. You want to feed small amounts 3 to 4 times a day.
