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 ...

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 ...
