RochelleMay Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hey Guys, Just wanting to know What Kribensis are like? What requirments they need? I have just setteled my tank after a rough patch, the current inhabitants are 2 Synodontis Decorus 2 Pearl Gouramis 3 Discus 2 Kuhli Loaches Will also be adding at a later date 2 Tiger Plecos. Or similar. Possibly 2 GBAs Possibly Black Ghost Knife Rainbow Shark Definatly Would Kribensis go with these fish? We have lots of caves for them to choose from. Otherwise do you have any other ideas of something cool and pretty? We have previously had Tiger Barbs Dwarfe Gouramis Honey Gouramis Range of Different Tetras So would like something different to these for a change.

curtur Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 How big is your tank? Kribs can get feisty if you have a breeding pair and may cause problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochelleMay Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 286L Are the males and females both the brightish colouring? Or are females plainer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Id definitely watch out if you brought a pair however you do have the room for a pair to live with your other fish just set up a lot of different hidey holes etc around the bottom of the tank. Females are more colourful than males they get a bright pink/purple belly, however they may not colour up that much when kept away from males and not in breeding colours..

RochelleMay Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Oh they have heaps of hiding holes. I also was reading through past threads about putting their cave in one corner so fish know to stay away. I have a couple coconut halfs that I will put together somehow in a corner - which hopefully they like as their cave. So you think kribensis should be ok? What else would you recommed? Just for more ideas, I think im set on Kribs but you never know. Im always scared about putting new things in I have never had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I think the kribs would be ok, putting caves or anything they may use for breeding in one corner is a good idea gives the other fish more room.. You could always consider cockatoo's as well might even be able to do cockatoo's and kribs, a friend of mine locally has nice cockatoo's for sale at the moment.. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=36817 Heres a link to some photos of my ones so you have some idea what they will look like, the photos are of my pair which were brother/sister to the parents of the ones he has for sale.. That was when they were very young the male got those orange blotches all over his tail and back of dorsal fin when he matured but I didn't get any pics of him before he jumped. http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f183/ ... 0x1200.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
