Any ideas?
I have lost 4 Kribensis recently. One day they are doing fine, then suddenly seem to stay at the top of the tank for several hours and then die! No visible signs of disease and water tests are fine. One pair recently bred in the tank too. Only thing I wonder is frozen food ok? It could be after I fed them frozen daphnia / blooodworm but am not sure about this. Any help please? |

you say you had a pair breed? maybe this could be the reason as they do get nasty once theyve paired off could be bullying + they go to top to evade the pair |

No they definetly are not subjected o any bullying.
Water quality is fine and all other fish seem ok. Just Kribensis that dont seem to last. |

Im certain its not bullying, but I do feed them on frozen maybe once a week. Just drop a frozen cube in. |
