Who Gives A Fish Forums

Yeah

I made this topic for Peterclark so he can see the progress they've made.
Male, we've seen some development.
Female, not as much, but still some.

A chunky school of fish could definitely liven up your tank. I've personally kept tigers with my kribs and it's worked out well, but you've got to consider the risk of the eggs and fry being eaten - most fish find them quite tasty.

Penguin tetras might be an option, they're not as common in tanks ...

The danios are a great deal near me, 4 for £5, so I can stock up easily. Thanks for backing me up on the 10 being better than 6, I've always thought 6 just doesn't look like a proper school.

Yeah, that sounds alright. For a 3ft tank, I'd say 10's a better number, 6 can be a bit thin on the ground, you know? The difference in behaviour between the two is pretty noticeable, so I'd go with 10.

How about a mix of Leopard and Zebra danios - not the tiny ones, I'd get them around 1-2 inches long, so they're a decent size. The females are pretty easy to spot, nice and plump.

I've got a 3ft Kribensis tank and I'm looking to spice things up a bit. I've currently got 2 species of kribensis in there - Nigerkento4 Red's and Ocellated's.

I was thinking of adding a decent-sized school of Threadfin Rainbows, but I'm not sure if they'd be compatible with my kribs if they ...

That "shimmying" you've described is quite telling, it's a great way to gauge their interest in each other. There's definitely some courtship going on, and it's lovely to see. By the way, your photos are excellent, really capturing their behavior.


No worries Ludwig, didn't expect you to know ...
