Sexing Kribs

[hopkigg]

I know these are not the best pictures in the world but was wondering if anyone could sex them for me. Two are behaving really funny and one keeps bending its tail and looks like it is dancing. These two photos are the two that are acting funny to each other so i was thinking they were male and female

First off this belongs in the African/ Old World Cichlid Section.

On the first 2 pics, they are male and female. The last 2 pics are also male and female. What size tank are then?

They are in a 250l tank. Are they ok in that size coz i am getting a 6ft x 2ft x 2ft tank and was going to move all my other fish in there and leave the kribs in the 250l tank on there own. If that is not big enough for them though then i might move them instead. There is 2 pieces of bog wood that they like hiding in, also 3 black tubes and a clay pot.

Also do the females looking old enough to spawn, just wondered what the dance was for. she keeps hiding in the bogwood and the male is never too far away

If she is hiding in the bogwood and the male is standing guard, she has probably laid her eggs underneath the bogwood.

250L will be plenty for the kribs and a few dithers and catfish
