Would 1 male and 2 females work or should I just get a pre-paired set?
Also, what kind of habitat would be best for them?
Looking sharp, love the colors on those Nigerkento4 Reds.

Re: A moody cow in my krib, how can i help it?

If you're looking for something to tackle the snail problem, I'd recommend assassin snails - they're meat-eaters, so your plants are safe, and they look great, like little mint humbugs. As for kribensis, I've found they don't actually eat snails. I'm not sure what's behind duskyfish's krib being so ...

Re: Observations of kribensis mating behavior


Here's a tried and tested technique for sexing kribs. It's pretty much foolproof.

Females are usually around 2-3 inches in length, and their stomachs are slightly rounded, even if it's just a bit. You'll often see a prominent red or purple color on their stomachs. The dorsal fins typically have a ...

Re: 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 ...

Re: care and feeding of the red kribensis


Unfortunatly, shipping abroad isn't an option for me, but I do have a batch of Super Reds coming up for sale soon, so I'll be listing them in the classifieds - might be worth keeping an eye out for those.


hi, just to give you an idea, the super reds are still young fry, just at the stage of ...

Re: care and feeding of anomalochromis thomasi, the african butterfly cichlid

African Butterfly Cichlids can be right skittish, I've found. I've got a group of six at the moment and they need their own tank, otherwise they're just too flighty. I've bred them before, and to be honest, I used to just eat the fry if they were in with other fish, even dithers. Just give 'em loads ...
