hi karen b

Kribensis are west african cichlids so this should be in the African Cichlid section,im sureamod can move it for ya later

how sure are you on them breeding? like what are they doing to make you think they are breeding?
and what tank size are they in? any other fish in the tank with them?

or that info would help

I have a jewel rio 180
interanl filter plus an external filter
heavly planted,
and it is home to;
8 harlqiens
8 cardails
2 large angles
2 small siemise flying fox
3 small clown loach
and a pair of kribs.

the female is chasing off the other fish when they get to close and she has a bright red belly, the male is following her everwhere and she seems happy to let him. and they have settled in a coner together.

does this suond like they are in love ???

You might want to add a terra cotta pot with substrate inside it in a corner where they will feel comfortable laying their eggs The behavior sounds like spawning though

or even slate works good that is what i have in my 90g and my fish just love it for caves!
