given up on the kribs - Aquarium Advice

Right my [acronym:b15bf91976="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:b15bf91976] are totally useless, they cant make me a special order of anything. I think im going to go with another plan now.

My tank now contains:

2 leapord danio
3 sucking loaches (i know they get big but im gonna keep them then give them two two good homes with big tanks i got lined up)
2 MALE swordtails

I figured seeing as swordtails were common id just stick with getting 3 females for my guys to fight over. And then getting 4 more danio.

thoughts?

what size tank is this for again?

Heiko · 11-14-2005, 05:48 PM

20 [acronym:39f05658d1="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:39f05658d1],

But wait there has been a development. Reading in the local newspaper i found an ad in the classified section, heres the ad.

"Lovely colourful adult Kribs which are in a comunial tank.Some of the Kribs are breeding pairs.I am selling the adults for £2.50 each.I also have some young Kribs which are to young to be sexed yet hence the price of £1.00 each.I will be happy to answer any questions."

how lucky was that, just when i was giving up hope. The guy lives close too. IM really xcited, popped them an emil see what they say, fingers crossed eh?

Kribs are great, but it depends on the community they are kept with. If they are spawning, they can be aggressive.

Ive sent the second email.

I would be planning on having danois, juvenil sucking loaches and possibly two swordtails. Would they be classed as apropriate tankmates?

thanks
