A little surprise from my kribs

[HiGhTiMeZ]

as i was doing my maintenance on the planted tank, sumthing BIT ME!
i was like WTF!! and i saw my 2 kribs going around my hand, getting ready to bite me again, i told them wtf is wrong with u! it is I who feeds u!! but by a closer inspection, i saw a CLUTCH of fry!!! woooohooooo!!
its their first and im totally surprised! ive never seen them laid the eggs (duhhh... thats y theyre called secret spawners ) thing is both my male and female is still very colorful specially the female, shes still has a big red belly.
i thought if shed laid eggs i will notice just by her appearance. but i was wrong.
anyway here are some pics pardon the quality just took some shot using cp.

damn this pics dont do my kribs any justice at all.
their color is unbelievable, i thought theyll be like that colorful on pre-breeding period..
anyway theyre both yellowish on top, black stripes and very red abdomens.
amazing little buggers.
theyre doing very well protecting their 1st clutch working hand in hand in protecting their babies. Its funny to watch that sometimes they team up and leave the fry for a while if the 8inch albino poly or the 6inch flying fox comes near, lol! they move their frys alot!! its cool to watch how the frys follows their mom.
anyway here some pics of the tankmates that they protect their babies from and a whole tank shot.
