Has anyone ever bread Kribensis fish? What size tank should I use
for 2 kribs?


Mine would breed in a 20 gallon community tank, but very few young

survived.
I would say 15 gallons would do if you removed the fry once they were big
enough.

then you must have something else going on in your tank. I breed my pair in
a 20 g tank all the time. I just recently sold off the last of about 120 fry
and the parents have another group of fry with them now. Kribs are normally
excellent parents however I did have a male that I had to remove as he was
eating the fry. With this group the male is banished and hides under a log
all day while the female swims around with her babies.
