|  Kribensis tank Hi all, I have a 29 gallon tank with a pair of kribensis. They are just about to breed and I was woundering if it would be a good idea to let the algae grow for the fry to eat or get some kind of algea eater. It is the green stuff and is in the form of little specks all over the tank. You can only see it if you look close but I have noticed it building up kind of fast. Thanks  |

| Re: Kribensis tank What else should I do about the fry? Do I need to start feeding them at any certain time(after how many days)? It is also a planted tank so they can feed on the plants as well as the algea and the bacteria in the gravel. Thanks! |

| Re: Kribensis tank Mine breed in a comunity and eat the bits the other fish don't. But if there's only kribs i'd use babybrineshrimp and chopped blooworms. Crushed flake is good too. Feed them 2-4times a day. Thats all i do and they grow big fast The parents will do all the work for you if you provide the food.

| Re: Kribensis tank Finally, my kribensis breed! There are about 30-40 fry. This is only the second time I have sucessfully breed fish. I barely even count convicts cause there so easy to breed anyway. I just had to share with everyone. |
