Breeding Kribs In A 95 Elite Style

[JohnRossDele]

hi all,
im breeding kribs (for sure; soon ) and need a little help is this ok for a tank

with black gravel
&
some coconut caves!! itll look like a little trib of kribs coz the coconut caves are like huts!!

I have this tank, and IMO it would be ok for one pair of kribs, nothing else though.

 

[shelaghfishface]

i have. and yes only 1 pair and nothing else

edit, sorry i dont mean i have this tank, i mean i have bred them in 95litres

is it better to get a pair, with nothing other fish, coconut caves, black gravel ect...


oh yeah, what size tank for a grow out or keep the fry in the same tank?

 

[youngfisher]

If you can get rid of the fry quite quickly then they will be ok in that tank unless your keeping them all. If you get other fish and the kribs breed, the other fish will get beaten up badly.

maybe some of the tougher barbs might go well in there as dithers?

 

[shelaghfishface]

a tank just for them, lots of hiding places ( plants, terracota pots etc) the fry can stay in the same tank, they will guard them with their lives ( mine had an oscar in with them for an emergency and they beat the carp out of him)
they could get eaten, but its not a regular thing, then when the fry get to a good enough size ( or before the parents lay more eggs) move them into another tank, as they may well start to attack the first batch
but do bear in mind that anything ( even barbs) will get beaten and maybe killed

ive heard kribs can get extremely agressive, but good luck mate!

someone is giving away a fantastic pair of krib specimens, FREE you have to pay p&p!

 

[gzylo]

yea!

they are in classified>livestock section !

if you interested I still have them!
you will not find kribs like that in shops!

Regards

What shelagHfishface said, but barbs can stress kribs out a great deal. They swim too fast.

Heres what im going for:

a 95 litre with stand
buying the kribs from gzylo
and providing the right aquascape!!

I had my pair in with just a bristlenose. Wouldn't risk anything else, they killed a couple of platies and beat up everything else when they were in a community tank.
