I just bought a pair of
Kribensis. are they east to breed like the convicts are? I have male and female. And also I like to
ad I have new baby fish they just hatch a couple days they are convicts. one is a stripped one and
one is a pick one. But they did breed so I have new baby fish. Just like share that bit of news
Congratulations on the new
fish.
I don't know that there's anything as easy to breed as convicts, however
Kribensis are not difficult to breed. Keeping your water clean with a pH close to neutral is always
helpful, although Kribensis do well in quite a large pH range. Once you have a pair, watch out for
other fish in the tank. Depending on tank size, a pair of Kribensis ready to breed can become quite
territorial in the tank. Having some type of cave available for the female is helpful, and plants
for the fry to hide amongst is also nice. http://cichlid.ipbhost.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif
