My Kribensis fry are about 5-weeks old now. If i didnt know any different i would think they were corydoras fry. They seem to spend 100% of the time on the bottom of the tank (which is plain glass) nibbling for left over food!!!

Seem fine, just looks bizaare!!!

Hey Heros Hero

Parents are with other Kribs in a 3 footer now, behaving normal, waiting them to breed again, love these Kribs, minie do not breed easy!!!

How do the paired kribs interact with the other kribs?How much territory do they claim when they want to spawn?Is the male loyal to the female or sniffing around other females? Sorry for the multi questions chap but when your threads get left as fish related you always have quality info.Keep it up conman or are you now kribman!

Thank Mate, i know what you mean about the posts pal

Right, my Male Kribs always fought each other from oppostie ends of tank, they both paired up, and left the 5th Krib (female to go it alone).

HOWEVER since i moved all the Kribs out of Rio 180 community into 3 footer with just Kribs and Brichardi young, one of the male Kribs died (yesterday - am gutted), now the lone male is getting all the attention from all the females!!! is funny to watch

BUT in reponse the your question, usually both males stayed loyal to one female

HEROS, my theory is that now there is one male breeding will be easier, i think in the past the big male (who died) would always riun it for everyone with his aggression

Thanks for your comments, i do try and leave good fish posts, but because i like a larf my dicisples always come on to my threads with humour and i fear it scares the "knowledgeable peeps" away.

Lex,you have kribs in with brichardi?What are you like!Gotta love those lamprologus,fantastic looking fish but mental when breeding.Get yourself some hemichromis of any kind and you've got the trio of nutter africans!Missed whether you've said what you're keeping now,do you have yourself an african lake set up now?What's happened to the cons?

Fair play to ya fella,half the fun is seeing how fish that wouldn't naturally meet each other actually interact.Keep up the good work chap but maybe there should be more severum and less convict!!!
