Kribensis Feeding

[LewisUK2008]

I have just bought 2 kribs and i am struggling to feed them.
I have flake and brine shrimp. The fish are constantly hiding
until i can get some dithers. They wont come to the surface
for food so how do i feed them?

i feed mine bloodworms and daphnia,i was feeding them blackworms but their expensive where i live.i also feed them tropical granules because they drop to the bottom pretty quick.i have even caught them eating krill and ghost shrimp.

you say you have 'just bought them' i don't know how recently you mean by this, but they may just be getting used to their new surroundings. don't worry, they'll eat when they're ready. as above says use pellets because they slowly sink towards the bottom where the kribs hang out. i have 2 kribs and i haven't found them to be fussy eaters. i've fed them on pellets, freeze dried brine shrimp and bloodworms and they readilly accept them all.

How long have you had them? Kribensis are very very shy fish and until they are sur eof there surroundings, wont be seen eating or swimming. Just turn the light off and wait a day, then turn the light on and wait a day, then try to feed them. Then, if they dont eat, i would think something is wrong with them.
