| I picked the Kribs Kenny, the girl in Pets@Home didn't even know which were the Kribs. I went for the female, which, to me, is very female, with the less pointed fins, the more rounded belly and some rose colour on her tum lol I picked the male with the spot on the tale, the more pointed fins and a more slimline body. When I got home and looked on the net, I was convinced I had a male and female, until I came across an article saying that there has been so much incorrect breeding and so many variations of Kribs that the only true way of sexing was by the fin under the belly (can never remember the names of fins) that the underneath fin on the male is very pointed, mine both have more rounded fins under the belly. Need to add, these are young fish, they are only just about 1 and a half inches long. I have tried taking pics for you to see them, 202 to be exact but only a few are good enough to show you. What you think? This is what I would say is the female My Male (hopefully) And the 2 of them together | |

| yea from pics thats a pair u can just make out the egg spot on male. he has a bit of sunken belly pbly due to him not being dominante in dealers tank should fill out and colour up nicely as they mature the colours will improve on both | |

| I need to buy 2 more large plants now, have altered the tank around, bought some grass type plant on Sunday and cut it into 3 bits so that there is more cover for any babies, I have also put the plants nearer together at both corners and bought the Kribs a cave, so now the middle of the tank is a bit bare | |

| hmmm get a log or a ship to fill the gap hun... i think i need some real plants ...some small ones ready for when the silver molly gives birth... the little fish i had last time, must have survived so long by hiding in the boat, but there wasnt much coverage for him when he started to venture out | |

| I think Molly's are big eaters of fry, I know Guppy's and Platy's are as well but the Molly's have bigger gobs and seem to really hunt the babies down, my Kribs will as well, that's why I have altered the tank and bought the grass stuff, I don't have any live plants Shell, and I haven't got anymore orni's to stick in. | |
