Interested in Kribensis, few questions

[D_Tristan22]

I'll voice my 2c. I keep a SINGLE pair in a 20L and they breed like crazy, but that's all that's in the tank.

Do you have lots of babies in there with them?

 

[D_Tristan22]

i have a pair of breeding kribs in a 29g and they chase everyone away when they have babies. i also have another pair in a corner 55 with 3 pairs of angels and they dont bother anybody

Do you have lots of hiding spots in the 29g?

 

[jahonnimyfav101]

[Fishdude3233]

Yes there are loads of babies

 

[Dixiegirl89]

Is that a thing?! Is that some special in certain areas? I would die if they had that here! $1 per gallon?!

It's on Sunday at petco if u have one

 

[Cichlid-dude]

Most any fish will become more aggressive when breeding.

 

[D_Tristan22]

Yeah the 1$ sale is awesome
I'm happy petco is in my area.

I have another question about this fish. Do they prefer to be alone or can males be with males and females be with females?

I keep mine in a 30 gal tank with A school of Congo tetras and Synodontis catfish without issue.

How many do you have?

 

[Dixiegirl89]

I have a petco right across the street! I never knew they did that though. Is it a participating stores only thing? Or all of them?

I had Congo tetras with my krib too. I think those were the only fish he didnt bug the crap out of

Yeah petco does it, I think twice a year. Well mine does. I've read that some do it it more often. I think all of them. Mine started today. If you would like to know, you should call and ask. ?

I had my 2 pairs in a 75 with guppies, GBR pair, Pearl gourami, dwarf rainbows, pair of Angels, BN pleco, and corrys. And everyone got along fine but than again it was planted and I made sure it was cave city lol.

 

[Wy Renegade]

How many do you have?

Of the Kribs? A single pair. Of the Congo Tetras? A school of six. Of the Synodontis catfish? Three.

I had a lone male in a 10 gallon along with a Black Skirt Tetra, Red Eye Tetra, Madagascar Rainbow, and a small school of Harlequin Rasboras.
Note that the krib was the only fish that hung out in the lower strata of the tank - he was occasionally aggressive to anyone who swam into his plastic log. Other than that he was a joy to observe for the five years I had him.
