Well, today I swung by the lfs to pick up some more anacharis, and I saw a pair of kribs fending off a cave-ish decoration from another male krib and some cory's. I snatched them up quick as there wasnt any extra charge for them being a pair. So I took them home and acclimated them like I normally do. A couple hours later they are very comfortable in there new tank and started to keep "taking turns" going into a cave I have. It's the only one that I can't see into either. The female will go in and then come out after about 10 minutes. Then the male will go in for about 5 and come out. Then they completely leave the cave for a while. Then they repeat. Any ideas on what my kribs are up to? Oh, and the female is quite noticabley plump. Thanks

it sounds like they are either breeding or getting ready to breed either way COOL and good luck.

it sounds like breeding behavious as that is what they do when they breed

feamle goes in and lays eggs .... males goes in and fertilises them

good luck!

Well curiosity got the best of me and i shone a flashlight into the cave when the female was in there (bad tetra, bad) and no eggs. But she is cleaning the roof of the cave and moving sand around. Thanks for the help
