HI
My baby kribs are comin gup to 3 months old. Some are now bigger than my fat neon tetras - but only just! others are still small. They get 2 or 3 feeds a day, frozen foods about 3 times a week, and their diet is varied. The pet shop says their body should be ablut the size of a pound coin to sell them. Are my kribs developing normally? Biggest are about an inch and a half long, and half an inch high. |

I think my fish store said they were selling their cichlids at about 6 months old for the small ones.

or just bring one in and show them the size, maybe they can at least take the larger ones so the smaller ones have more room to grow.

a inch ( about 2 and a half centimeters) is selling size. Yours should be at the mark by now, and if not, they are very close.

Well, no movements on my babies yet, but I did advertise my breeding pair, as I just don't have room to keep breeding, and I had separated them and they were not happy
 And they sold within 12 hours!  So sad to see my beautiful Spot go, but she is a born mother and it is good to know she can now continue to breed! Apparently the pair have disappeared into a cave already
