Look What I Just Got!

[BelldandyShanny]

my tank has now been completed (as far as fish goes) always room for more plants in my opinion!  These are my new additions, sorry for the quality, wouldn't hold still.  I have not picked out names yet, I need to get to know them first. (and hope my rams leave them alone! it's big enough they should be able to find a place.)
 
I've never owned kribs before (nor rams the pair I have are my first)  They are living with loaches, as you can see from photo bomb, and guppies primarily.  5 scissortails as well!   I love my fish babies!

I love kribs! I use to have a pare but it didn't work out.

I don't trust sucking loach when they get big I found them to be very untrustworthy with other fish even large ones.

 

[BelldandyShanny]

it's a dojo, I've never ever had a problem with them

Think those kribs are both females btw

 

[BelldandyShanny]

one is distinctly less colorful, I can try and get a better picture of that one.  What I've noticed though, is my male ram has been hounding the obviously female one, and largely ignoring the presumably male one.  I was told it was a male female pair.  The fish manager (aka dude in charge) is the one who selected them.

Individual pictures, came out slightly better than earlier!

Hmm the first pic is deffo a female. Males usually have a spot on there tail fin, might just not of coloured out properly yet.
They breed like mad aswell lol, I was having 100egg batches every couple of weeks.

100% female and male.

Love kribensis, had a pair that bred like crazy! I definitely got the hang of sexing, not all males have tail spots. Some have none, some have 4+!

IMO one of the most beautiful little freshwater fish.

I've had my pair awhile and while initially there was a lot of digging and dancing they seem to have gone off each other...

mostly my female chases my male away, but she looks really really fat.  They both have hidey holes on opposite sides of the tank. I only got them a few days ago though so I'm not expecting anything yet.  But I do have lots and lots of caves.

How big is your tank?

 

[BelldandyShanny]

55 gallon long

Nice i want a bigger tank than 30. I almost got a 55 but it sold before i could.

 

[BelldandyShanny]

yeah I just upgraded from a 20, wish I'd gone big to begin with!

I think my kribs are getting busy!
