Hello, thanks for the replies. My kribs have decided to get back together. Not even the first torn fin. Last night after almost separating them, I put in another shelter on the other side of the tank from where the male hangs out. I don't really know why I did it, I sort of thought it might give the female a place to hide and maybe it would divide the tank so they could each have a territory. Well, about an hour later, they were over their war. Today they are hanging out together, eating, just like before their spat. I don't know if the flower pot helped or if it was just a coincidence but maybe next time they spawn it will go better for them. Thanks Teresa. P.S Is there any chance in this lifetime that I might obtain a pair of apistogramma cacutoides here in Chatt.
