 | new krib answer fast. |
bettachris     Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004   | blah,blah etc. i got 4 new kribs right. i am planning on putting them in a 20 l with my other krib male. right now they are floating and the krib male in the tank is turnning red and is attacking the ones in the bag. now is this a bad sign seeing how the new kribs are about 1/2 his size. also the male in the tank seems to only attack the bag where the other 2 males, and one female is, but there is one female in the bag that seems to fight the other female. could che be fighting for right to breed with the large male?

That's a huge difference. I don't have kribs but was consdiering them, so I did a lot of research on them. I suspect you have too many kribs for that space. I don't think I would keep more than a pair (one male, one female) in a 20 gallon tank. Others with more experience can confirm or contradict me on this. I'd probably keep only one of the new females and bring the rest back. |

| Mike R Fish Addict Posts: 593 Kudos: 830 Votes: 322 Registered: 27-Jul-2004 | If you've got a pair of Kribs, breeding pair, that's about all you can have in a 20 long. before they pair you should be able to keep a half dozen or so. I think the resident male is defending his territory and will probably attack once you let them out of the bag. I'd take either your big male of both little males an 1 female back. Good luck, Mke |

Do a rotation until you seem to get the two that are in lurve  (breeding behaviour should be easy to spot in this breed)~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~ |
