Kribensis fans!
The Kribs bedded down! Mr Krib has been feverishly preparing a nest for his lady. Mrs Krib has been fending off the competition, fins out belly curled! We were rewarded with the site of a whole mess or eggs in the nest. There is a lot of activity in that corner of the tank! So fun to watch!

Pictures of the happy couple!
Thanks COBettaCouple! Here are the kribs, about a week ago. This must have been just prior to laying the eggs. I reduced the resolution for easy viewing, hope the quality is okay!

Hey Barbados08! They are rather inexpensive for the great rewards they offer! My LFS just had a brood (adults) for $3.99 a fish, but I've seen them up to 6 or 7. I think when I first bought some 6 years ago, they were about the same price. I got 2 males and 3 females, in hoping some would pair. Watching the females display is awesome. They show off for the male and he makes a pick. They usually pair for life! I have given many away to fish friends. |

These are great pics, thanks for posting them. I have a male krib in my community tank and I adore him. I didn't want a pair in there due to the aggression , but perhaps one day I will be able to have a pair in another tank. I hope you will keep us posted!

That's too bad Allie. The only draw back on Kribs is that they are rather short-lived. They live about 4 years. Maybe they wear themselves out with all that wild activity! I now have two other females courtin' a male!

congratulations! My krib fry are 5 weeks old  They are very fun to watch, I've only got about 7 or 8 survivors out of a batch of 50 or so (mom decided a few weeks in that she didn't want kids anymore...) but before she could eat the rest I removed her. Now it's just dad and the kids! when they are a bit bigger I'll probably move them to a new tank and reunite mom and dad... dad hasn't seen another adult krib in probably 3 weeks! I'm gonna make a new post and add pictures of my little ones |

The eggs were slowly eaten. I never reported to you all. Not sure why, but it was the 4 spotted female. But, they have nested again! I would like to do a water change, but I don't want to disturb the happy couple! I'll keep you posted. |
