Guest grottosandfins February 19, 2006 Share February 19, 2006 My cichlid Kribensis has killed one of the 3 females in my tank and is harassing another one. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbert February 19, 2006 Share February 19, 2006 well, uh this is a saltwater and reef site and im not sure if your allowed to ask these questions here. maybe you want to try looking on petfish.net or a freshwater based site? I do have great knowledge of chiclids and have been breeding kribs for years but Im sorry to say you have come to the wrong furom sorry we could't help you :bigcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yomeister66 February 19, 2006 Share February 19, 2006 As Michael stated, this is a reef forum, and as such we are unable to process any type of fresh water questions However.....hypothetically speaking....if you would present this question on a fresh water forum.....I would venture to guess that they would advice you to create hiding places for your female kribensis........ somebody might even volunteer information about how they took a small clay flowerpot, hit it with a hammer on the side to remove a small piece (large enough to let the female in, small enough to keep the male out), then put it upside down in the substrate (Of course, if you do that, you might have to check your overflows and filters because all of a sudden you might find some kribensis fry in there). Like I said..that's all just speculation, even though that's what happened to me several years back. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm supposed to go quail hunting with **** Cheney and I can't remember where I stored my kevlar body armor (-: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishface February 19, 2006 Share February 19, 2006 For a forum, there's either Greater washington aquatic plants association http://www.gwapa.org or Potomac Valley Aquarium Society (PVAS) (this is bigger) You would really benefit by joining either group and meet others "Freshies" to share and exchange with or buy from. For a local store, call Fins and Feathers in Broadlands, and ask for Sean. FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Grenier February 19, 2006 Share February 19, 2006 PVAS is the group you want to talk to. When 2 cichlids pair-off their tolerance of anything else in the tank, especially their own kind, goes waaaay down. I'd move them out. Kind of like asking your wife if your old girlfriend can come live with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
