Kribs Colouring

[Bertie]

I've just transferred 5 small Kribs from a community tank (where they were born some 4 months ago) into their own aquarium. I did this 2 days ago and the Kribs lost their colouring in the move - how long before it comes back?

As long as it takes. I know it's not what you're looking for, but there is no right answer. Let them get used to the environment and make sure the tank is set up with the right ground cover and caves and they'll come around. Might be a couple of days, might be a couple of weeks.

I moved one of my little kribs recently who's about 5 months old. It was about ten days ago and his color is still a little off. But the substrate is much different, too. He went from light colored gravel to black sand. He tends to blend right in when he's on the bottom!
