Adam Swarbrick Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I was super excited to find my kribensis pair had spawned today. I only bought them last weekend because I couldn't resist. I'm fairly new to the hobby, only have two tanks but am ready to upgrade once I have redecorated my spare bedroom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Congrats on the new babies! I've heard kribs are so much fun to breed; can't wait to try them myself one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Swarbrick Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thanks for the comments guys. We'll see if I can actually raise up some of the babies for my local clubs BAP programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon G Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Congrats on the spawn. Kribs are beautiful fish. They are the next fish I plan on purchasing once my Angel's get out of quarantine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Swarbrick Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Bit of a blurry photo but I have wrigglers. Was kinda down when I woke up this morning because I thought she had eaten them but they had all fallen down into a crevice at the back of the lighthouse. Hopefully mum let's at least 4 live to grow up. Below that's a nice photo of dad showing off all his blue colouration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Swarbrick Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 22/7/20 - The fry are out bouncing along the substrate, they had disappeared out of the lighthouse when I got home from work, how long do they normally take to learn to swim?

Adam Swarbrick Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 8/9/20 - Probably not as much growth as a master breeder would have by now but my fry have started to develope a full lateral stripe now rather than their spotted baby camouflage. Still a ways to go but at least that gives me time to befriend a LFS as these will be my first batch of fry I'd need to offload. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Kribs are a species I want to get hold of and try my hands at breeding. Maybe I'll be able to find some at my local club's swap this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck at your club swap and I look forward to seeing some photos down the road of your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Did your pair fight after the fry were swimming? My female was beating up the male pretty bad afterwards. I had to move him to another tank to let his tail heal up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried keeping them together for a while but I did pull him out. Currently he lives in my community tank in the living room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Swarbrick Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) It's all gone full circle, I took 91 kribensis fry to the LFS today. With one fry still to catch (It jumped out if the net into another tank.... 😂). Unfortunately they are super common around here so we didn't get any store credit but it went towards my first breeder certificate. The tank is now sitting empty awaiting apisto fry. Unless I get to excited and go fish shopping in the mean time... 😬😬 Edited October 4, 2020 by Adam.S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
