A unscheduled day off work today meant i could go patrolling the local fish shops to see if there was anything new or interesting about to put into the newish 40 gallon tank i have sitting half empty. I was just about to skip the african cichlids section in one shop when for some unknown reason a tiny pair of kribs in full breeding colouration caught my eye, theyve never really interested me before but these ones were just irresistable so home they came. I dont know how soon they breed (if at all) or how they'll fare bringing any young up with the other fish in the tank, a pair of large Satanoperca a small shoal of congo tetras and two small morgunda gobies plus a breeding pair of bristlenoses but theyve certainly added a vibrant splash of colour to the tank.
