How long did it take your kribs to breed?
I have a pair together in a 29 among some other fish.
They constantly stay right together, and always hang out near one of the caves, and chase other fish away from the caves...
But as of yet they've been together 2 months and nothing... I heard it didn't take long at all.
What were your experiences?

Feed them live or frozen food every second day. They should get really colourful. Can u put up pics just to see if u have a pair.. It took my first kribs a bit about 4 months. But now i once i get two paired up a week or two does it.. Outside a month.

did they choose a particular cave or spot yet? my kribs always dug sometype of hole under a rock of some type. Thats how I know mine are spawning. Chasing is also a good sign, they might have spawned already and you not known it. I've had a pair spawn within a couple months. My new pair took over 6months to raise a spawn. They eggs several times but just last week they got it right.
on a seperate note mine didn't like to spawn in the open, it had to be a flat rock low to the ground. if it's too exposed they either eat the eggs or not spawn. that's just with this pair though. my other pair laid eggs wherever they wanted, i've heard friends have kribs spawn on the side of the tank. gL btw what tanks mates do you have?
