--trimming some uneccesary groups--
Probably too late now, but next time, try to have the parents breed in
that new tank. I have two pairs of kribs--one in a 30 gal community,
and one by themselves in a 10 gal. They both bred about 3 weeks ago.
Only the the pair in the 10 gal have nearly all their fry still alive.
The parents take amazing care of the babies, IF they aren't
distracted by having to endlessly defend their territory. They'll
lead their family all over the tank to look for food, giving the
babies some kind of direction in their young lives.
