here we go again with tank 4.
i have found a heep of infomation on the net about careing for krib fry and how kribs breed etc but not a regularly updated account of it so i thought id try to get my new guys into the mood.
first the stats. the tank is a standard 20G with some drift wood, a terracotta pot and a deep pvc tube cave (which they love).im working on plants
when i went out to select fish i found a nicely coloured female with a big purple belly and a nicly coloured male who is bigger then her (that is important otherwise the female will bully/kill the small male).
the filter is an internal power filter but i will also be making an air powerd filter for when the fry are born.
to seed the internal power filter i ran it in my 55g community for a week leading up to the tank set up. i then also filled the krib tank with water from the 55g community.
