Kribensis breeding

[petkeeper]

Hey all I was thinking about Krib breeding but I need more info on it

What would you like to know?

Have you bred fish before?

Why do you want to breed?

What will you do with the fry? One spawn can have a dozen fry but the next could have 150. My lfs will not accept them until they are 5 months of age, so they can be sexed.

I would like to know about the basics of breeding them. I haven't bred them before and my local pet store will take some of them off me

You need to know that the adults will spawn about once a month. As I said, they can have anywhere from a few fry survive to hundreds. You'd need to have a large enough tank to accomodate them. You'd have to have grow out tanks for the fry unless you kept them in a huge main tank.

Kribs spawn on their own. You don't need to do anything to provoke them into it. They are spawning machines.

I started feeling like I had a fry factory, rather than a fish tank, so I brought all of mine, adults included, to the lfs and moved on to other things.

I doubt your lfs will take as many as your adults will provide.
