Tuesday morning i discovered some 100 + eggs laid by my kribensis ,they laid them in a cave i constructed so you can see them good through the glass. Now its thursday morning and only have about 25 left, I know the barbs and neons didn't get near them b/c the parents keep them away, is it possible that the kribs themselves ate some of the eggs,i have been observing, but hav'nt seen this taken place. Is ther any other explanation for the missing eggs???
 
Many fish eat the first couple clutches.
 
yes if this is theer first batchh it could have been them, or if this is the umpteenth batch, the barbs could have learned how to get to the eggs.
