a few QQ about kribs

[cinlnk]

I have a pair kribs and was wondering how to sex them .... they appear to me a M/F..... but what are the differences?

 

[Fish Friend]

the female will be smaller in size to the male, or you can check by their dorsal fins heres a pic of a pair....

Hey, Fishfriend those are some awesome looking Kribs.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Like FF said above, the male will have a longer pointed dorsal and a spade tail, while the female's dorsal will be rounded and short, same with tail.

Great!!! they will colour up even more soon just when there about to spawn... sometimes they may so called 'vibrate' to each other that means they are ready to spawn, good luck! *thumbsups

hey looks like the sound of little baby fins might be appearing in the future

 

[Fish Friend]

fins? or fish? lol im sure my female has fry.. shes not come out of that pot since last week and she doesnt let the male come inside... its odd!

 

[phOOey]

well i meant fins, but i guess fish could work to

 

[Fish Friend]

pair of kribs

i have a pair of kribs but they have stopped breeding and they have seven of there fry in with them which are about 1inch what would i be doing wrong?

 

[Fish Friend]

Hi anton welcome to the tank!,
Hmmm, some pics would be good, usually they only spawn after their fry are fully grown and are old enough to take care of themselves, can you imaging having a batch of fry every month lol youre tank would be bursting !!!!!
