Who Gives A Fish Forums

I managed to capture a few shots of the little ones, and even in just a day, they've already changed so much. They're still super tiny and tricky to photograph, but it's amazing to see them grow.

My tank's a bit messy at the moment - I'd planned on cleaning it today, but the babies are making the ...

I'm still in shock - I just spotted mama and papa krib swimming around with a bunch of tiny fry, 10 to be exact. I was starting to think I'd never see the day, especially since I only caught a glimpse of the eggs briefly. Papa was still guarding the cave, but it turns out he was just doing his job ...

I'm pretty sure it was one of them, he's still super protective of the cave. She's only about 7 months old, and he's probably around 9 months old now. I wasn't trying to breed them, and to be honest, I'm not sure what I'd do if the fry actually made it - I don't have another tank to grow them in ...

Unfortunately, they didn't survive the night. Fingers crossed for a better outcome next time around - after all, it's still early days for my krib breeding experience.

Hey everyone, I'm a krib breeding newbie - just letting the pair do their thing. This appears to be their second spawn. Last time, I spotted the typical behavior and found the eggs, but they vanished by morning.

Fortunately, the eggs are laid near the opening of the wall crevice, giving me a front ...

Here's the updated tank today. I've added some new fast growers in the right corner - Cambomba and Hygro Difformis. They're still pretty short, only about 8 inches, but I'm hoping they'll grow quickly and fill out that corner nicely.

I'm still getting used to all the positive feedback - it's surreal to hear everyone raving about my tank.

To answer a couple of questions, I have two red tiger lilies, one in the front left corner and the other tucked away behind the wood on the left.

Regarding the driftwood, I actually have two ...

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I really appreciate the feedback and reassurance. I've been thinking about the bare right corner - I removed some of the red plants and relocated them to the left side, so I'm looking to create a lush, bushy area on the right. I'd love to incorporate a few ...

I'm really enjoying my tank at the moment. The green water issue has almost completely cleared up - it's down to about 5% now. The plants are thriving. However, I've got this nagging feeling that something's not quite right.

I'd love to hear your thoughts - is there anything you think I could ...
