I have 4 Kribensis, 2 albino females, and 2 male normal colours ...

will an albino and normal pair up and mate?

at the moment the males dnt seem interested in the females ...

any advice?

Dont know kribs, have zero experience with them but i dont see why they wouldnt. How long have you had them?

I see you have a 5ft Aquarium, nice size! You have a better chance of the females pairing with the males than if you had regular ones. Because the females stomachs look bigger and brighter to them, making them think they are more fertile, so they are more likely to pair up with them. If they do pair up and breed, depending ont he genetics of the fish, you are looking a 50/50 color cross. Also, you might want to look at getting rid of your pleco's as they will eat the kribs eggs. The JD may well attack and kill the angels and the kribs , so you might want to watch out.

I couldnt tell you when they will pair off, because i dont know either! It takes time, and good tank conditions.
