Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've been in your shoes before, Jamie. She's defending her territory, that's why she's turned on him. I'm guessing your tank's not the biggest, given he's stuck hiding at the top.

I'd take her out, give the tank a bit of a rearrange, and then put her back in after a day or two. That might calm her ...

Sounds like things might be kicking off with your kribs. I'm guessing they've got a cozy spot to call their own - I think I see a plant pot in your signature pic, is that a cave in the making?

Anubias are pretty versatile, they can thrive in a fully submerged environment or in a marshy setup. They're not exactly speed demons when it comes to growth, but they're tough as nails and super easy to care for, which is why they're a great choice for beginners. Plus, they're a breeze to propagate ...
