When will my Kribs spawn?

[KribFreak]

I really need to know when my kribs are gonna spawn and then should I move the kribs into a 10 gallon tank when they're about to spawn. What will they look like, will the females belly turn scarlet?

How many do you have?

Have they paired off yet?

10 gallons are not reccommended for breeding kribs. 20 gallons at a minimum is reccommended for kribs.

the female will start. she will pair up with the alpha male. you will notice her dancing and shimmying. she will also lower her fins to make her belly appear fatter. this is to attract the male into mating with her. dither or target fish are suggested for breeding kribs. rosy barbs seem to be the most favorable. they will require a cave type structure to lay the eggs. a flowerpot turned on it's side is good. when the female is ready to lay the eggs she will swim upside down in the cave deposting her eggs on the roof of the cave.

I made a cave out of PVC pipes. The only thing that ever goes in there is my crab and occasionally my cory catfish.

Mine spawned in a crevice under a huge piece of bogwood.

I'm also hoping mine'd mate, but at the mo' they don't even want to know each other!
