Breeding Kribs - Aquarium Advice

fishilover · 07-26-2005, 05:25 PM

I'am new to breeding Kribs and I was wonering if I have all the proper stuff to breed them in cuz they aren't breeding. Right now I have a male and a female wich I'm positive they are a true pair in a 10g tank with lots of plants and clay pots overturned to breed in. I jacked up the temp and feed them guppy fry(wich I bred myself not from a [acronym:746507dc7d="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:746507dc7d]) and a good flake they have been together for about 1 month now and the female wants to breed but the male chases her away. Now I have another true female and I tried switching females but that didn't help. Now I have a 40g community tank wich the lone female is in I tried putting them in there but the male still had no interest in either female am I doing something wrong or do I just have a male that doesn't want to breed?
Any Info will be greatly appreciated.

How big is the male? Are you sure that the male is mature enough?
