My kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher) left their cave yesterday with a new brood following them. The fry are soooo cute, and it's amazing to watch the parents protect them.
Out of curiosity, i watched what happened today after the lights went out. The mother picked up the little guys, a couple or three at a time- in her mouth! - and carried them into the cave. I've never read about this behavior in kribs before. It was the coolest thing i've ever seen my fish do.
Well, that's it for now...
