Kribs in brackish

[Nippy]

Anyone on here actually keeping their Kribs in a brackish tank? If so, what salinity are they at? I'm thinking of putting my pair into my brackish to see if they will finally breed. (Plus, I'm sure they'll help keep my red chromide population in check )

Kribs are not brackish, they're strictly FW. Specimens have been found in BW in the wild, but those are wild strains that have fled deforestation areas and have had no choice but to flee to BW estuaries. No one knows how long they live, but they can't tolerate brackish for too long.


BTW It's Orange Chromide, there is no Red chromide.
