hey all
i have 6 albino kribs which i would like to try and breed
there are 3 male and 3 female
i definutly have 1 pair which are really well coloured up and always swimming around together
and i also think the other have kinda paired up aswell
wll can anyone give me any info on breeding then?
anythink to trigger spawin?
thanks

I think givinf them a good hiding place often helps e.g. plant pot or empty coconut shell.


tbh I think thats about it, they breed a lot but sometimes one may get beaten up (usually the smaller), so if you provide a cave with a hole only big enough for the smaller, you should be fine.

Also, can I have some pics? Never seen albino kribs before lol
 
ok thanks alot
yea i shall get some pics as soon as i can :)
thanks jmaster
 
My female Krib has started laying eggs inside her cave (the design of cave they have built allows me to see inside!) Will she carry eggs around in her mouth?
 
hey all
well today ive noticed that one of my pairs have built there lil cave in the rockery and have dug all the sand out of it
could this be for breeding?
they dont stay in it all he time though
thanks

hey all
i definutly have one good pair in my tank which always swim round together and never leave eachother sides
im just wondering what could be stopping them from breeding?
they are fed frozen blood worm everyday or two
they have really good colouring
is there anythink i can do?
should i remove the other male and females?
thanks
jmaster
 
hey
ive noticed the last couple days that the male and female keep goin into a shell every lil while
but they dont stay with the shell all the time but they get angry if any other fish goes near it
could there be eggs?
or does one of them always stay with the eggs?
how long do they take to hatch if there are eggs?
thanks

hey all
i know i definutly have eggs now coz i can see some pink eggs in the shell the the female is always in and the male chases every other fish away
they have built a big pit around the shell
how many eggs are normally layed?
i can see about 10 but then she fans them then goes even more into the cave until she dissapears so is there a chance theres more up there?
i noticed then wen i got home from the weekend yesterday so not sure when they were layed
by guessin id say they will hatch tomorow but dont know
what happens when they hatch?
do they get moved to the pit?
thanks
jmaster
 
hey all
should i move the mum dad and cave with eggs into a tank on there own or leave them there?
and will they eat the eggs if i move then?
iv noticed the eggs are goin lighter is this good ior bad?
thanks
