My New Kribs

[James Squire]

Hi all,

Thought I'd quickly post a couple of pics of my new pair of Kribensis. Im hoping to get them to settle in nicely into my community tank along with our Platies, Guppies, Bristlenoses and Swordies. They've been in for 24 hours now and are fitting in ok excepting a dust up with one guppy who must have got on their wrong side. They really are beautiful fish and they appear to be nicely paired as I've seen them 'shimmying' around in front of each other whilst popping in and out of rock caves I've prepared for them.

First heres the male.


And then the female.

wicked little fish mate.but you wait till they breed,and they will breed.mine spawned again last night and hearded all my fish to the other end of the tank.
they are my favorite fish though,so many differant strains.

My male Krib looks different to that, wonder if one of us has a cross. Mine is missing the circle on his tail.

The "eye spots" are a reccessive gene so you can make it a dominant if you keep breeding ones with "eye spots", so it just depends on the fishes parents. Roght now I am looking into getting a pair of Pelachromis Taeniatus Dehane, google them they are the prettiest fish I have ever seen!
