should I?...

[SConrad]

I'm going to the LFS and I'm going to get about 3 kribs and keep them in a 10 gallon....whats the m/f ratio???

 

[duendecillo]

I think it's best just to keep a pair...

 

[Nix]

Kinda tight for kribs buuuut, If anything get a a male and a Female.. Or two females if you dont want breeding?

O and if there is any other fish in that 10gallon i would'nt recomend the kribs (espcially a pair)

 

[SConrad]

okay, thanks...

i like apisto aggasizzi...would they be good? a pair

They would be a much better choice than the kribs.

Are you trying to breed them?

What are you planning on using as dither fish?

 

[SConrad]

dither fish whats that?

yeah, i think i do want to try on breeding them

When you goto the lfs see if any are paired up, but the ratio is 1 : 1 cause if 1 cpl pairs then the other is screwed and will be attacked becuase the parents will defend its offspring

 

[SConrad]

ok thanks..ill be sure to do that

 

[Doggfather]

if your breeding apistos of any sort, the best ratio is 1:3 but 1:2 (males:females) should be ok.

Male apistos get aggresive when breeding and if there is only 1 female in the tank, it may die of stress from continously being chased by the male

WHOA
I had no idea that the apisto's cost 65$ a piece. I won't be able to do this at all. I will have to go with a few rams and breed them instead...sorry if im waisting you'r time
but could we switch the breeding topic to rams instead of apistos??

thanks

*EDIT* or maybe kribs..they're cheaper too
