Re: Help With Kribs...



Curtis,

Based on their behavior, it appears that your Kribs have bonded and are preparing to breed - if they haven't already. Digging out a cave is a part of the spawning ritual used by Kribs. If you didn't fill the pots at least partially with sand, then the pair didn't consider them for breeding caves. It takes about a week after spawning for the fry to become freeswimming.

good luck,

Mike Wise

Hi there,

I have had a pair of kribs in a 25 gallon tank for the
past month or so.


Anyway I added a couple of flowerpots which I took the
advice from thekrib.com hoping that they would breed.

Well it turns out that they didn't use the flowerpots
for their cave instead they dug out their own from the
edge of the piece of slate that is in the tank as
well.

They both are in there at night and the female
sometime stays in there during the day.

What I'm wondering is if this is a sign that they're
going to breed or how do I know that they're going to
breed?  Also how long does it take for eggs and fry to
hatch?

RGDS & TIA

Curtis M.
