Re: Observations of kribensis mating behavior

Thanks for all the info, it was super helpful. I'm really sorry for the late response, I just got back from a summer job with basically no internet.

Lionestly, thank you so much - I'm trying to learn how to sex different fish since my LFS never seems to know anymore. I'd really love to get ...

Re: Observations of kribensis mating behavior

Yeah, I'm not sure about getting another pair of kribs just yet. I'm dealing with some major fish losses in my tank right now, so I need to get things stabilized before adding more. Kribs seem super territorial, and with only a 29G, whatever I get needs to get along with the others until my 75G is ...

Observations of kribensis mating behavior

Hey there,

I've recently brought home three Kribs with the hope of finding a pair. If things work out, I'll rehome the third one. However, their behavior has me stumped - I'm not sure if it's aggression or mating. One Krib is being quite aggressive, chasing and pecking at the others. But then ...
