Not to shabby! ;) If I may, I would suggest a lot more hiding places for the kribs than what I can see in those photo's. They can get testy quick when they spawn, and the way I've normally seen it work out is that one of them will take the brood, and the other one will take the punishment. So the other one will need lots of places to hide. Of course this is a little down the road, but something to keep in mind. I think your off to a great start. :)

I had more flower pots, but I broke all of them, trying to chip out a hole in the side. The one that survived I didn't even try doing anything to. :rolleyes: I'll get some more, but what can I use besides flower pots that won't crowd the tank?

Oh I would say if they couldn't eat the shrimp, at the least they would pick them to death.

And as far as the hide holes are needed, it doesn't have to be pots, anything that one of this can hide in will work fine. A few larger rocks positioned right just so it gives some cover is all they will need. Be creative, nearly anything will work. :)

My female looks like she may have clamped fin. I've never had a fish with it, so I don't know how clamped fin is diagnosed... How clamped does a fin have to be to be considered "clamped?" Most of the time I have seen my female today, her fin is closed all the way to a point. Is this the illness? I have Jungle's Fungus Clear. Of multiple illnesses, it says it treats clamped fins. Should I use it? I don't want to use it yet if it turns out I don't have to.
