RE: Krib partners fighting
Add three more hiding places around the tank. Then consider some target
fish. I use Xenotaca Eisini with good success with my P. Teaneatus. I found
without a target I loose either the male or the female after spawning but
with a proper target species in the tank the pair bond remains viable as
they have someone to fight with and protect their young from. I wouldn't
recommend using other cichlids. Tetras Larger rasboras medium sized barbs.
maybe gouromi's. It depends. Your other option is to move the male after
spawning to another tank until the female is ready to spawn again.

We have a problem with our pair of Pelvicachromis Pulcher. So far they have
spawned one time (before six months) and because we keep them in 100 litres
also with bunch of other fish only 5 of the fry survived. Just after this
batch
they had another one but female lost it - she maybe thought that she can
take
care of them alone - without male (partly my fault - I kept them with older
fry
and cave was not good enough).
But since that they haven't been succesful. In turn they both tried to
occupy
the cave we have there. Sometimes happy and together, sometimes fighting (I
don't know if any of them is really stronger but I know they both can win -
male can also be the looser sometimes). But today we found female hiding at
the
top with rear fin biten off so we really tremble for her safety. Can you
recommend us some solution? What would you do in our place?
Thank you very much for help,
Charles and Susan
