Dixon1990 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 My Kribensis is getting a red belly when around the other kribensis that has a really red belly? Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billaney Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'd say 99% both females Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebag Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 the top ones a female, the bottom one looks femaleish as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Yeah they both look like females to me also... I currently have a large pair of Kribs.. and his belly does go red also when they are in breeding mode, however not the full belly just patches, he is far different in shape, alot longer in the body, pointed dorsal and doesn't have a gut like a vietnamese pot belly pig :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
