Ocellated Kribensis

[jacko32]

hi can anyone give me any info on ocellated kribensis as i am interested in buying a pair and breading them
i could do with info on possible tank mates and feeding

Just like regular kribs. Minnimum breeding tank (if you want the fry in with them), 15-20 gallons. Tankmates, none in that tank. Maybe some Swordtails or mollies in a 30g. Feeding, any good high protien flake or pellet. Water, they will breed in just about anything.

hi thanks for the info i cant keep mollies as the water is pH 6.0 i have marbled hatchet fish which stay at the top so should be ok i hope

The hatchets may end up jumping out, as the kribs may pick on them.

yeah its just gonna be trial and error untill i find out what good tank mates are for them i got some tips off a guy who breeds all kinds of dwarfs and kribs and he said its best to keep some dither fish with them as it makes them feel like they have to protect there territory
i have 2 25uk gallon tanks so i can always take out the hatchets
