I'm pretty sure my kribs spawned today. They were showing courtship behaviours and in full breeding colours, and behaving very aggressively the last couple of days. Today, the female is primarily staying in their cave (a coconut shell), and the male is closing guarding her and the cave entrance. Neither fish lets the cave entrance out of their site, which is actually nice, it means they're no longer chasing the other fish all over the tank, but are only defending a tiny little section of the tank.
Anyway, when do I need to start supplying the fry with fine foods? Is it once the parents bring them out, or before that?
Any food recommendations? I don't have time or resources at the moment to hatch brine shrimp, so it's frozen, freeze-dried, crushed flake, or egg yolk. Which is best?
The tank has some java moss which I recently added, including some on the cave roof, but there's very little algae in the tank (my pleco keeps things tidy).
