Breeding kribensis

Today I found my first group of eggs and was curious about egg coloration. What should their colors b throughout the process until they hatch, and how do u know if they r fertilized or not?

Orange. If they're white they're not fertilized.

Hello; I had kribensis that spawned for me some years back. I seem to recall that the batches of eggs were white. While it is often true that unfirtilized eggs are often white, my memory is that the kribensis eggs were close to white. I may have some video of the eggs and could check, providing I can find it.
At any rate the eggs will show signs of development within a few days. The parents should take good care of the eggs during this time.
If it is their first batch they may lose them, but they will try again fairly soon.
Good luck

I had a pair spawn not too long ago and one thing I remember is that the parents made some mistakes the first few batches but eventually got it right. Good Luck!

Also, how long does it take them to reach full or close to full size.

How do u know if the eggs r fertilized? The female has been hiding in the cave with the eggs but the male not seems to go in.

Kribensis can have two spawns going at the same time and the older spawn will help with the newer spawn. Also, the female won't usually let the male near the eggs as was the case when mine bred in a small cichlid stone.
