No Fish or Equipment were hurt in the making of this post :)
Nice one mate, great photo's aswell I have an old photo of my kribs with fry still on my site i think.
Cool :) this is the first batch of fry with this male after the original one died :(
Hopefully i can raise some this time.. once the mother krib has left them to their own devices i will move them into another tank and hopefully have some to pass on :)
Those are excellent pics Mark!
Good luck with the babies when they arrive, looking forward to seeing those pics. My pair always eat the wrigglers, I was told that when I bought them but did I listen?
7 8 tanks (tropicals) , and a pond.Without understanding, knowledge is worthless
Lol i was fairly lucky with mine... i had the original male and female but they wouldnt pair up.. then somebody gave me 2 other females and all 3 decided they wanted the male lol
They battled it out and the one in the picture won.. however about 5 weeks ago my male died :( on the off chance i phoned the Lfs, and luckily they had 2 males.
As soon as i put the males in the alpha female chose the other male to be hers.. but in the end the bigger male pushed him out and the two in the picture are the result..
i do have another male and 2 females who will be, going into a different tank asap so hopefully they will, well at least 2 will form a new pairing.
mine started off well, being great parents so I lef them to it then decided to eat them
That is my worry with these 2. she has bred before and raised the fry to the stage of letting them go off alone, but then they got eaten..
As this is her first batch with this male i am more worried he will eat them..
hopefully he wont but it is a common thing with first batches..
Terrific photos!
I bred kribs for several generations back in the '80s and kept the local shops stocked up for a while, it was like a factory - wouldn't be surprised if the fish I have now are descendants of those! Makes it harder to take that I can't do it now. They used to be so EASY.......
Great captures mate, Kribs are a lovely looking fish.

I'm blown away with your photos mate, very nice! Are the other fish keeping away or being kept away (assuming it's a community setup)?
well they Were being kept away and now i think they just know lol
Dont think i have had any losses yet
Both parents are protecting them a lot more than the previous male did..
