She is looking much better this morning her black stripe is back and her tummy is a nice red colour.
Going to build a divider today as I cant find one in any local fish shops and keep them seperated for a couple weeks and during that time Ill add some livebearers.
Thanks for all the help, if I can get her to stay still long enough Ill post another pic of her (well I hope shes a her lol).

ok I got a pic of her its not that good as Im finding it hard taking pics through glass, but you can see her colour is back and shes swimming all over the tank now instead of hiding from him.

She is about an inch long and he is about an inch and a half.

 

[poohbear1]

is it usual for kribs to "kiss" through the mesh on the tank divider?

 

[kribensis12]

I would keep he seperated for a while, i am thinking she is too small to breed. Feed her good for several weeks, and then post and pic's and size. Becasue im afraid that male will kill her.

I have the tank seperated and got 2 platys and 5 flame tetra. The platys are in her side of the tank and the tetras in his. Ive been feeding her brine shrimp daily with some flaked food too.
Thaks for all your help, Ill keep you updated.

Ok taken ages to get pics but here you go.
One of the female pics was taken last week and the other tonight.
did have 5 flame tetras and 2 platys in beside them but all but one flame tetra died for no specific reason I can find.

It looks like ti's time to put them in together. Or have you already done that?

 

[poohbear1]

was gonna give them another day or so and spend time on tuesday doing a water change and re arranging the tank
But hopefully they will be ok together now, Ill keep you updated.
Thanks
