Who Gives A Fish Forums

Thanks, did you notice the female hiding behind the male in the first pic, she's always by his side

Here's my Nigerkento4 Reds, male and female, got them from Peterclarke, check the link http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/385 ... kribensis/

For real, man. My RODI unit was the culprit last year. Swapped the DI resin and it fixed everything.

Yeah

I made this topic for Peterclark so he can see the progress they've made.
Male, we've seen some development.
Female, not as much, but still some.

A chunky school of fish could definitely liven up your tank. I've personally kept tigers with my kribs and it's worked out well, but you've got to consider the risk of the eggs and fry being eaten - most fish find them quite tasty.

Penguin tetras might be an option, they're not as common in tanks ...

The danios are a great deal near me, 4 for £5, so I can stock up easily. Thanks for backing me up on the 10 being better than 6, I've always thought 6 just doesn't look like a proper school.

Yeah, that sounds alright. For a 3ft tank, I'd say 10's a better number, 6 can be a bit thin on the ground, you know? The difference in behaviour between the two is pretty noticeable, so I'd go with 10.

How about a mix of Leopard and Zebra danios - not the tiny ones, I'd get them around 1-2 inches long, so they're a decent size. The females are pretty easy to spot, nice and plump.
