identifying the sex of juvenile kribs

Got a pair of juvenile kribs and I'm stumped on the sex. Two males or one male, one female - I just can't tell for sure. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Re: Breeding kribs: tips for successful spawning

It seems like that brief moment of activity didn't quite lead to anything. Now they're back to taking turns going in and out of the cave, with the rest of their time spent hovering around the entrance.

Re: Breeding kribs: tips for successful spawning

They've really gone to town on the cave this time, biggest mound yet. The male is now camped out in there, refusing to budge, while the female just lingers at the entrance. What's the story here, are they finally getting down to business or is something else going on?

Re: Breeding kribs: tips for successful spawning

I've not noticed any eggs in the cave for the male to fertilise, which seems odd given their regular nesting behaviour.

Re: Breeding kribs: tips for successful spawning


First off, are you certain you've got a male and female Krib, or could you have two females? Posting some pictures of the adults would help us determine their sex.

In terms of feeding, how often are you providing them with food? When trying to breed Kribs, it's recommended to feed them 3-5 times ...

Breeding kribs: tips for successful spawning

My Kribs have paired up and found a cozy little cave to call their own.
They're doing all the right things - taking turns digging out the substrate in their mouths, the female sitting tight in the cave for a few days while the male chases off any unwanted visitors.
But then, nothing. No eggs, no ...

Re: Discussion on the new aquasky 2.0

Still having issues with brown algae on my plants and decor. Getting frustrated with it. I've tried adjusting the light settings on my Aquasky 2.0 but nothing seems to be working. Powerin mentioned using a chart for their Plant 3.0, anyone have a similar chart for the Aquasky 2.0? Would love to hear ...

Discussion on the new aquasky 2.0

I'm struggling to find the sweet spot with my Aquasky 2.0.
I either crank up the light and my plants thrive, but then I'm dealing with a nasty brown algae issue all over the leaves and glass.
Or I dial it back and the algae disappears, but my plants start to suffer and die off.
Anyone else have ...
