Who Gives A Fish Forums

You keeping them in a community setup. I've got a pair in mine and they've basically taken over this coconut cave I added, even claimed the piece of slate inside as their own.

They're definitely spawning, the female's in and out constantly and the male's always on guard at the entrance, chasing off ...

If I walked into that LFS, that one-eyed peacock cichlid would've been the first one I'd pick up - no question.

I noticed you've added two coconut caves to the tank, which is great, as I've read that Kribs tend to like having a choice in their shelter. Another simple, yet effective cave idea is to create a small stone circle and place a piece of slate on top as the roof. The opening should be just large ...

Well I'm a father, kind of anyway. The Kribs left the coconut shell and I thought they'd abandoned the idea of breeding, but this morning I noticed the male chasing anything that came near the female. She was hovering by a stone and a plant, and then I saw these tiny brown specks moving around her ...

Hi Donna, I'm no expert but I'll share my experience with you. My first time with Krib fry was a learning curve, they were tiny when I separated them. I used 'Liquid Fry' from the fish shop, it's a small plastic bottle, you mix it with tank water and it clouds the water for a minute, but the fry eat ...

Think my Kribs are spawning again, title says it all really. Got a breeding pair, they've spawned before and I managed to save 8 of the fry last time, but lost them one by one to the other tank mates.

Had them in a community tank initially, but pulled them out when I thought they were spawning ...

They look great, really like them. How big will they grow, curious to know.
