kribs with fry

[jumpman]

Couldn't get good pics because they were a bit cautious with them then (a few days ago) and the tank is a bit overgrown and shady at the moment....gives you an idea though! More to come soon....

Male watching while they 'graze'

They blend in fairly well with the sand, but stand out a bit more on this one after I upped the contrast a bit! They seem to be doing really well, growing and the mother and father chase off all the catfish and other fish no probs, even though they are dwarfed (ha ha) by most of them!

Awesome pics!! Very beautiful fish! Gonna have to hook up wit cha later and swap fish or sumptin. See, I'm getting two pairs of Albino Kribs next week, already have then paid for and ready to ship...just waiting for my tank to be completely set up. So maybe once mine start breeding we could swap fry and get some really kicking fish! Talk to yaz later! Love the coloration!

Are thay salt water fish?

 

[PereguineFalcon]

Naw, I'm in washington state but i am more than willing to help pay the shipping, those are some awesome kribs you got there! Would love to cross them with my albinos and see what we could get! Lemme know what cha think!!

Martin B, no they are freshwater fish, they come from Africa....do a google search on kribensis for more info....


PereguineFalcon, I think it would be much better, easier, cost effective to get someone to mail them to you within the US....you could try some online stores??

Cheers m8,

The only problem is that I move in two weeks, and they just HAD to have them now didn't they?! 'Try and move us now ya bugger'

Well I'm not moving far so should be ok I think....fry hopefully big enough to cope by then.

Will post some more pics when they get a bit bigger (and when I have cleaned the tank glass properly so they come out better!!)

cheers
