Sounds like you might have babies a comin... All the best. I just hope my male krib comes right, he seems a bit fat & constipated at the mo, no bloated scales so that's a good sign.

Thanks, will try the shelled cooked peas, wouldn't you know it, my wife has used the last of them in tonights dinner.

They get brine shrimp every day along with the spectrum life food I've been crushing up for their babies. Any comment on that? Reason for feeding them the brine shrimp that often is that they love it above any of the other foods I offer them.

Hi Rebecca, yes I think I did sell you some guppies via Trademe (at least I know I sold some to a Rebecca;)

Welcome & all the best. I'm new as well, however I have a friend who has been on this forum for some time & raves about it, users are very friendly & helpful.

Hi there & welcome to you too. I have a Kribensis breeding tank in my garage & I have it fully boarded up with polystyrene on all sides, the lid has an elongated hole in the top for the light. Front & top can be easily removed for viewing & feeding. There are a few gaps around the top I would like to fill in before it starts getting too cold. All the best with your new endeavor, I wish I could have a few more tanks. Wife says no!

Hi New to the forum, I'm from Manukau in Auckland. I've been keeping tropical fish for well over a year now after restarting from when I was younger. I have two tanks (+ 1 emergency), My main community tank is 150 Ltr & what was a 90 Ltr overflow has turned into my Kribensis breeding tank. I keep; Bolivian Rams Kribensis Neon Tetras Harlequin Rasboras Xray Tetras Ottos Corys Bristle nose pleco's Tuxedo Guppies My Male Krib; I purchased my male Kribensis off Trademe from another fish keeper & a female from Hollywoods in Albany. They started a brood almost immediately & their young are doing well with 30+ @ approx 5 weeks old. Over the last few days I have noticed a rather different behavior from my male krib. He has stopped eating & has become slower in his movement, his mouth seems to be gulping open a lot more than usual & he is fat. My guess is that he is constipated. He's been eating thawed Frozen Brine & New Life Spectrum food. Can anyone offer me any advise on getting this guy back to his normal happy self again. Thanks. Jonathan
