Aren't baby kribs exciting? I had a pair of Kribs in my 30 long (not sure how it's really called, it was 36X18X12 I think). Anyway, I just put them in there because they were a beautiful fish. I didn't really care if they bred or not. I had a school of orange von rios, and a school of harlequin rasboras as well. And a clown pleco, although I never really saw that fish--it hid all the time. I had a nice piece of real driftwood, some live plants (very low light), and some flower pots (at the sides of the tank, so if my Kribs did breed, half their territory would be outside the tank--tricky that!) Well, I'd had them a while, and no breeding. But, that was fine by me. Then, I went on a week long vacation, and just left the tank to fend for itself. Much better, IMO than having someone feed it too much etc. (I did not have my light on a timer, so it was dark the whole week). When I got home, was I shocked to see mom and dad Krib leading a school of little babies all around the tank!! All the other fish were fine too--no serious aggression or anything! I did not make any attempt at netting out the fry, and after a few weeks, they all disappeared, and mom and dad started over with a new batch of babies. If I were serious about keeping the little ones, I would have netted them out after a week or two, but instead, I let mom and dad eat them and make more.
