Hey guys, well as some of you know, my kribs have had a batch of fry. I first thought it was about 50-100, but now it seems like there is only about 30-60max. I've tried counting them, not sure why, but I get up to about 28 and then lose track. What I really want to know is what do I do now they are getting the hang of swimming and eating from the gravel? They are about say 3-4days old and are swimming under the mother/father all over the tank. I just did a clen today and did a bit of aquascaping. So when will it be right for me to take them away from their mother and father? What should I do with them, I'm hoping to raise a few and maybe put a few in my 35gal, but my Gold Severum has only started to get mature. The problem is that the 35gal is really empty, with 1 gold severum + 4 bronze cory's its seems a little dull, though I did some aquascaping their too!

But what now and where to? What did you guys do when your fish had fry? ( I don't want to use them as feeders for my gold severum :( :P)

check out "my tank specs" for a few pic's

I was watching them swim around today and I saw a fry get left behind and it slip down a crack in the gravel and got stuck, I got it free but it got scared and swum down, it went down about half an inch and started moving underground ( not sure how ) i've got pretty think gravel crushed quartz mixed with small pebbles. Should I maybe get rid of all the quartz and just have small pebbles? whats to say that many of the fry haven't gotten stuck in the gravel and left behind?
