Hi, all,
I've got a male and female krib who have paired off, and one other male krib who spends his time hiding at the opposite end of the tank, pretty much. (I've tried to catch him to give him away, but I can't get the guy!!)
The pair spend practically all their time in and around the breeding jug, breeding colors and behavior high, etc. They've been at it for a couple of months now, but there are never any fry! I've bred kribs before, and I've never seen this happen. What gives?
The only thing I'm wondering about is where the jug is located; it's on the bottom of the tank, partially under the output of my AquaClear 200, and there's enough current for the plants above the jug to swing in the current a little. Is that too much current for kribs to breed? Is the current moving into the hole in the jug and somehow messing up the eggs?
This really has me stymied. I don't know whether to move the jug or get another female krib or what. Help?
Thanks,
-- Pat
