29G Krib crib

[mrbigmuscles]

Here is my recently set up 29gal, moderately planted, diy co2 and ei dosing tank. 96 watts (but an old bulb and wrong size for this tank) overhead. Inhabitants so far are half a dozen kribensis (unsure about gender though LFS claims 3 boys and 3 girls); two wild guppies I bought on a whim; various snails and possibly some microfauna I tossed in early on (copepods, daphnia, worms of some kind).

It's not very pretty, I was never much of a 'scaper.

Trying to figure out tankmates for the kribs, I'm thinking sparkling gouramis? Enjoy the pics..

Looks very nice, and I like your Kribs

Cool fish, some killifish would be cool with them.

Nice tank, and nice kribs. How many are there in there?

6 right now; I believe it's 3 males and 3 females. I'll probably take a few out if/when they display breeding behavior and put them in another tank.

It needs a background, IMO. Other than that, it looks great!

Update:

3 of them have been killed, I am pretty sure by a spawning pair. I have found a set of eggs on the underside of the driftwood; which I guess is good.

But, the last remaining female has simply vanished. As far as I can tell, the only one left is a male. Is he capable of raising the fry himself? Should I remove the eggs to another (fishless) tank; or remove the fry?
