East london Kribenses

Hello,

The size of the Kribs for sale here in EL are pathetic, 1cm maybe 2cm at best. One lfs used to stock decent breeding fish, 6-8cm, but that ended years ago. I have successfully bred them, at one time having 110 adults. Is there anyone here in EL with decent sized adult fish that I could breed with? Only looking for one pair atm and I can pay cash or swap if there's something I have that you want.

Thanks,
Mitchell

 

The Nursery recently got some BIG kribs in. Like 4cm sized ones. They haven't colored up but they look well fed. Hows the fry doing?

 

They're doing good. What was the price of those kribs?

 

I bred them a couple of times but there isn't a big market for them I usually struggle to sell them

 

Thanks @Firefly the kribs at Pioneer were the biggest I've seen in EL for a while. I took the dominant male, but sadly I couldnt get one of the large females as they might be siblings, I took a smaller female from another LFS and I hope she isnt too small, she is currently hiding from him.

A general question:
When I see certain species that Ive never seen before at a LFS, the same fish usually arrives at most of the LFS's at the same time. Im not sure but I think some of the LFS's in EL have the same supplier. So I got a male krib from one LFS and a female from another, is there a possibility that they are related? Im really trying to avoid relatives as Ive had Chromides with weak genes before.
