    Healthy krib?

    I will try and get a better picture, they are very photogenic, but they move so much it's hard to get a clear one. They are like lil water dogs though always come to the glass when I come around. There shouldnt be any stress on them I don't see any hostility between the 3 of them and I think my...

    Healthy krib?

    About what size are those? They do have some color but it was hard to get a good shot with the fins up as most of the color is on the top of the fin. The only reason I got 3 because it was a cheaper to buy 3 than just 2 an since they were so small and I wasn't sure how to sex them I figured if I...

    Healthy krib?

    I don't think so, they are very small there are 3 and one of them ( not her) has color all the way to the back of the dorsal fin the other 2 don't. I read that was an effective way to sex them while they are small like this. The other one I believe is a female is not like that but I'm sure every...

    Healthy krib?

    Hello I have this kribensis that has a much larger belly than the other 2. It doesn't seem to be a problem but figured I'd check here for some input. It is a female I believe but they are only 3/4"-1" long so I think they are too young for that. Could be over feeding too I guess but it's the...

    Cory question

    There is a cave I built and a few plants I will invest in more once I see that these plants do ok. They seem fine with me sitting and watching but like you said any sudden movement and they scatter. They are also more active in the evening. I also am on the hunt for a piece of driftwood which...

    Cory question

    I have 6 corries, I've only had them for about a week but I've read about how much personality they have and mine are quite skittish, every time I get up to walk past they dart into hiding. Is this normal behavior for a group of these guys.

    Thanks Sheila I will look for something in that spectrum, I was thinking there was much more needed so this is great news.

    Basic plant setup

    Ok I will look into those varieties and see what's available locally. Is substrate not just a fancy word for what one chooses to line his/her tank bottom with? I thought it was but incase it's not that visible it is just sand with the gravel you see also with the same gravel under the sand. The...

    Basic plant setup

    Hello I would like to add live plants to a 56 gallon tank. I've never had them before so don't know how to get started. I would like plants that won't need any special equipment and are on the easy side of maintenance. Beneath the sand is more of that gravel I want to add a piece of driftwood...

    56g Stocking advice

    i dont think i want the hostility that may come with i guess i would choose the angel over the fire mouth even tho i like it better. plus i really want to spread the fish out and the fire mouth seems like another bottom level personality. i would like to think of something else top level with...

    56g Stocking advice

    yea i def dont want to have all bottom dwelling fish. so would the cory and kribs be ok together, its my understanding the the corys are bottom feeders where as the krib is just a bottom dweller. if i took the rams out of the running would there be another dwarf cichlid that would play well with...

    56g Stocking advice

    Ok so i will probably stay away from the discus then, they are kind of pricey anyways. I like the look of the Kribensis Cichlid thank you for that, i dont know anything about them but plan to look them up, would you suggest it also with the fish listed above if so how many would be a good...
