LOL, i kno. The kribs are definatly good parents, should never have doubted them. :lol: However they might just be too good, 50 fry in a 20 gal. Somehow i just dont think thats gonna work. Lol, thanks everyone.

I was so totally wrong. This morning after i got back from playing football i looked in my tank and whalah! Free swimming fry being taken for a walk by mom and dad. Im so happy! :D The kribs are definatly great parents. My only problem is now i have like 50 krib fry in my 20 gal. O well might...

NOPE ITS A DUD! Its been a full week now and no sign of any fry, so im cutting my loses. Just have 2 keep feeding them well and hope nextime round they can do it right. Anybody know how long it will be before the female is ready to lay eggs again? Thanks

Nice tank, I would agree with the dwarf chichlid approach, my 20gal is much the same as yours. I just got a pair of kribs and they love it. Good luck

Im thinking they might have been unfertilized. However the female still seems to be hanging around her new hidey hole like she did when the eggs were in the plantpot. Its been 4 days now, so ill most likely know by yhe end of this week if i have fry. Hmm, im inturiged to see what happens.

right, i was just thinking thismorning when i looked the eggs didnt look any more developed than 48hrs ago. so i was just worried. o well all we can do is wait i suppose. Thanks again tiffi

NOOOOO! I looked in my tank thismorning and saw that a few of the eggs on the bottom of the cave had dissapeared. I took this as being the parents removing bad eggs. However when i got home from school, i find the plantpot in which the eggs were totally stripped of eggs. And the female was...

so tiffi, any updates picwise? im intrigued to find out what im in for... :lol:

thanks, @Tiffi. Thats a point ill try raising the fry in the community tank this time then i can get credit and wont have to spend too much at the lfs. My next plan is swapping CAEs for bristlenose's when they get a little larger. Its ben about 48 hours, still sign of hatching but i have my...

LOL :( My idea aswell but my mums not too into it, plus the fact im broke, lol :( The CAEs do tend to get chased by the male a bit, but its nothing too vicious, hes more worried about the barb to be honest. :?

Hi, I have a planted community tank including: 2 Leapord Danoi, 2 CAEs, 1 Male swordtail, 1 Green tiger barb and my newest editions a pair of kribs. To my supprise not a week into their stay the kribs have spawned. As i have a comunity tank with the above named fish, what would your estimate of...

Hey Tiffi, Yes, I have; 2 Chines algae eaters (both aout 1") 2 Leapord danoi (want to get a few more) 1 small male pinaple swordtail (cant decide wether to keep him) 1 Large green barb (I love him but he will probably go, he keeps the male krib busy neway, lol) My ideal setup would be later...

Ah ha! here we go, Not sure never had any experience with breeding fish before so im not sure if the eggs are healthy. But here are the pics.... P.S. Is the female supposed to loose a little colour after laying?

sorry pics wont upload because ive reached my max upload limit!! :evil: Any ideeas how i can rectify this???????

went to post pics and i got this mesage. Any ideas how i can post some new pics even if it meand deleting old ones. Thanks

So its not been a week since i got my pair of kribs and it seems as if the chemistry is already flowing. 8) I came back from school today to see my female with a small white extension on her abdomen. So i very luckily got to plonk myself down infront of the tank and watch not only the female...

thanks, ill bear that in mind. I just boak the tubifex in the tank for a bit break it up slightly then leave it with them in the water. They seem to like it, kribs have a go at the big lump while danois pick off the single floating bits. Ive just noticed my female krib, she hovers aove he...

Hey guys, I bought two CAEs from my lfs, i was informed they were peacful and grew to no more than 4 inches. How badly can they lie? Im not sure wat 2 do cos there so peaceful as 1" juveniles. Recon i shud take them back while i still can? Sorry 2 but in, but i can sympathise with u man, these...

kewl, i think he likes those, was absolutly murdering part of a block, lol

LOL, Ive got a good one. My first fish were leapord danois and introducing them was fine. It was my 1st PWC that all the fun happened. As i took off the hood to get at the waterline i saw a small fish swimming furiously towards me and pop!, he came right out the water hit my arm and flopped to...

His colours improving a little, but hes very temporamental with it, hes never vividly coloured for long like his partner. Take this for example..... The pictures are no more than 30 seconds apart.

I think im on the same boat. My female is a combination of lovely vibrant colours, wheras my male is still looking rather pale in comparison. Im not sure how long it will take for him to mature as he is already considerably bigger than her wiht the orange markings on his fins. O well fingers...

Thanks, im gonna make this work. lol. Ok just went down lfs and bought freeze dried brine shrimp, they came im blocks so i stuck it to the side of the glass as anothher AA member said to do a while ago and they seemed to love it. However after like, 2 minuted it poped off the glass and shot to...

ok, I have freeze dried blood worms, they any good. Might take a trip down to the lfs if not. They have frozon bloodworm tablets but no live stuff. Any ideas, how about packaged stuff like processed brine shrimp that come in a kind of sachet?

pair together.
