This is our new krib fresh out of quarantine. Seems to be doing extremely well. Color came back immediately and she’s eaten 4 blood worms. Chased all the dwarf gouramis away from the algae pellets but left guppies and cleanup crew alone. Super happy as this is the last fish we are getting to cap off the tank for now.

side note we also got a hillstream loach because they look freaking awesome!!

I love kribs. Your's should be beautiful once it colors in
Ya she was pale when I moved her. In 10 min she had that much color so I can’t wait for her to gain more.

So I love my new krib but today we got a new development. She won’t leave my mystery snails alone. I saw one fully shelled (which never happens) so I started watching a the second he opened up she swam over and pecked.

i understand that all krib have a different personalities but is there a way I can get her to leave the 2 mystery snails alone. They are OG to the tank one is slightly bigger than a golf ball and one is just under the size of a golf ball.

could it be feeding? I typically feed every 2 days flakes and algae pellets. Then on the off day I’ll throw in a bout 5-6 bloodworms. Any advise is appreciated. I can give more info if needed.

The fish is likely defending what she sees as her territory. Seems like fairly normal kribensis behaviour to me.

She followed the snail up the glass, I put three caves on the right side of the tank that she primarily hangs around. This was on the left side toward the top.
