Krib Question

[Lamby_Lee]

Sorry for all the questions... i really wanna get this right!

Im hoping to get a pair of kribs and am wondering what sort of aquascape they like and what food they need etc. etc.
Is there anything i should know before buying these fish? I wanna know the ins and outs of these fish!

Thanks so much for all the help and guidence so far... without it i wouldnt have got anywhere!

They need caves to breed in. But don't give them, just one or two.Give them like 3 or 4, so they have a choice in breeding sites. They like cover, as they can be shy. Food, any high quality protien rich flake/ frozen food ect. is a good choice.

Also Id have a mix up of sand on one side and gravel on the other as the enjoy digging in the sand, but also use the crevices in the gravel as pits for fry.

Plants such a cabomoba and amazon sword go well with krib and also some grasses.

Feed frozen bloodworm every evening (not to much though) and flake in the morning. Also mix from live to frozen bloodworm now and again.

Use a coconut shell cut in half to get two caves along with some small upturned flowerpots with a hole in the bottom big enough for the to squeeze. Also add some more cover such as pebbles, slate or sandstone to the parents to guide the fry around
