D-Hawk Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 hi I have started a new tank with kribensis, I got 1 male off trademe and 2 females from hollywood fish farm. the male is about 7cm, female's are 5cm. the one female is constantly chasing the smaller one away from a cave I got off trademe. she seems really stressed out and her fins are flat. my dad is thinking of moving her to my community tank. I've only had them for a day. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 if the females that is chasing the other female is with the male then take the victim female away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Krib babies will also eat very finely crushed up flake or pellet food and other things they can find in the tank, plus microworms.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Hawk Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 hi my kribs are breeding again! and the fry from the last lot have grown happily, I was wondering if I take the older babies out or not because I know they are great parents but with new ones I think they might be eaten! :nilly: thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 yeah it is better to remove the older fry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
