Re: Are kribensis cichlids able to mate?

do you reckon they'll ever click, or is this just gonna be a drawn out courtship thing?

Re: Are kribensis cichlids able to mate?

no, there's not much aggression between them. currently they're both in the cave, but usually it's just the male that goes in there, like when something spooks him or something.

Are kribensis cichlids able to mate?

i posted about this before but seems like nobody's paying attention now. my girl's definitely trying to mate, no question, but my boy's just not cooperating - every time she makes a move, he freaks out, shakes and swims off, kinda like he's all aflutter or something. does anyone know what's going on ...

Re: Kribs are mating and thriving.

Yeah, they've got 2 caves to choose from. Before they started this whole mating thing, her belly was super red, but now it's pretty much back to normal. And I've also noticed she's got a bit more yellow to her now.

Just went to check on them, and the male is literally standing on his head, tail ...

Re: Kribensis behavior inquiry

I just sat down and observed for a bit, and I guess she's out more than I thought. I was still and quiet for a minute, and she came out, then she was out the whole time I was sitting there - about half an hour. She'd go in and out of the cave, and it seems like she's being really aggressive, chasing ...
