Thank you, good thing I don't have to name then I pulled over 300 eggs, never thinking that they would all hatch, but almost all did. Did the same as I did w/ the killies.. I used the Marina Hang-On Breeding Box w/ an airstone, until they hatched. Then I pulled the stone and hooked up the air as its meant to be used, w/ the addition of a piece of course foam to block the overflow. After I pulled the eggs, I replaced the water w/ tapwater - no chemicals. I just fed them w/ microworms, might have been a bit premature, but some had already used their yolk sac...

Smile Krobia sp Xingu Orange guinansis****
My Krobia spawned I had seen a few fry last week but they were lost... But today I saw that they had spawned again. Not the best pic, but there are a few hundred eggs in the lower left quadrant of the flower pot.

Thumbs up
Congratulations! I can see the many eggs pretty good in that photo. What is your game plan for raising the fry?

I’ll try to remove some once they’ve hatched, and put them in the Marina box. If the clay pot wasn’t so big, I would have put it into the Marina w/ an airstone. Then the usual, micrworms and baby brine. The eggs look good; the female is w/ them, she’ll come out for seconds and then go back; once in a while the male will check on them. Meanwhile, on the other side of the eggcrate there’s another pair going through the motions….

I just went to check and they have hatched. I moved some of the wrigglers to the Marina. The parents are searching the gravel for the ones that got away...

Your Krobia are beautiful; I've always liked Acara-type cichlids. How large are the adults?

I doubt if the males are 4", the females are maybe an inch less. They thoroughly searched the tank for the wrigglers that I missed, and are now taking turns tending to a nice little group w/in the nest. Very nice fish..

I saw that; he also has them on his site for $35ea. I brought a couple of bags to the last auction, along w/ a adult male barbatus and some togolensis killies. I didn't hang around so I don't know what they went for, hope they had some good bidding (coffee/cake $ for the mtgs). They're nice fish, very active.
