I haven't seen Kribs yet that weren't great parents. They will do all of the work. You just need to provide adequate food for all involved.

Krib are excellent parents. the weak will perish and the strong will survive.
Hopefully your tank is big enough so the other tankmates can get out of the way ..
If its a krib only tank you canve 3 or 4 generations of fish at one time going.

Congrads on the spawn. Get ready for more because once they get to spawning you might get lucky enough to have a baby making factory at work...

what food should i feed to the fry?

I never gave mine anything special....just finely ground foods, they run around the tank, supervised by parents, in search of foods all day. It's cool to see them in a herd going about their business.
