Hey so I got into a bad spot with a pair of Kribs. Had a really tough week and wasn’t able too pay attention to my fish and now paying the price for it. Everything was going great with the pair l knew that they were breeding then with the bad week going on they had their fry and I forgot to put a sponge tip on the intake of the filter so there are only a handful of them around I am assuming they got sucked up into the intake which was near their nest so now the male is aggressively going after the female like he wants to take her out should I get her out of there or will it pass.

Do you have another tank to separate the two? I don't really know the answer to your question but just checking for the next poster to know what you have available.

If they appear to be fighting you can just experiment and put the male in the other tank and see what happens. A lot of this stuff is trial and error of a science project. We are students for life.

How long has the excess aggression been going on? You did check your filter I hope as they don't always die getting sucked up there, you might be able to save some.
I'm so sorry that happened. I am on the journey with my pair of Kribs so I am unsure of how to advise you.
These guys are in a community tank? I have definitely heard of a male killing the female so if it persists and he actually injures her you may want to separate them.
Are there still babies in the tank?
My male was being very aggressive to his wife but they settled down and are all flirty now.

Hi yeah I checked the filter and I couldn’t see anything alive there are maybe 4 or 5 left but I can’t see them now l think they have been Abandoned the male just roams around and when he sees the female he goes after her she tries to stay with him but he doesn’t want her around and at times she is in hiding it started when the fry disappeared two days ago.
I think I have to take one out of there but not sure which one. I have a 75 community tank that has one small Apisto in there so I am concerned with that.
