Is it their first spawn? Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it right. I wouldn't remove the fry, that could lead to a fight between mom and dad, however you could remove the other tank inhabitants. How long have the fry been out and are they returning to the spawn site at all? I assume there's a cave like structure where they laid eggs? I'm a little out of my depth here with Kribs I'm afraid.
the parents are watching them now some reason yesterday they didn't really seem to are but ya the mother takes them back to there spawning cave every night
Glad to hear it, I've never kept Kribs but from what I've read they're generally good parents.
