I have a pair and the female layed her eggs about 6 days ago now they are gone, do they eat unfertilized eggs? or would they have hatched? how long till u see the fry? How long till u will see the Krib fry outside the cave?
 
Is this the first time they laid eggs for you? If so, then it is likely that they ate the eggs. Kribs usually will eat their eggs the first couple times. After they get the hang of it, they make excellent parents. But, I would separate them from all the other fish since they do get very aggressive when protecting their eggs/babies. My kribs killed 10 of my diamond tetras before I realized they were the problem and removed the male kribs.
