Actually 1 male and 1 female is best. Kribs should be kept in single pairs - any additional fish are unlikely to be tolerated.

oops thats what i ment

It is best to show pics of all four so me, or someone else with experience, could sex them for u.

Hi sorry to hijack, i,m sure i have a pair although they dont seem to have any interest in mating.
they do shimmy against each other but thats it.Also they seem to have stopped growing at 2" ,they are in a 2' tank.
Female

Male

Both

nice kribs! they look like 'kienke" are they? the reason why is she isnt full of eggs. feed her plenty of brine shrimp and her belly will start to fill out.

 

[steve2000]

Hi kribensis, yes thanks for that "kienke" yes i am pretty sure your right.
will try and feed them up, see what happens.
