One of my favourite species. I have a group of 6 in my largest tank (180 gallons). Very peaceful to one another and to their tankmates, all of whom are larger species, which likely helps.

I love my Kribs! I have 6 adults! They are my favorite fish besides my Oscars. So much personality. Awesome parents. Super pretty

Thank you, Lauren. Nice presentation. Your pair are very colourful compared to a lot I have seen in the shops, and they look healthy, so they must like the way you keep them.

Not my experience. My kribs were the most aggressive cichlid i ever had. And i had at least 20 different species. But you are right about the breeding. They breed like crazy and it could be very difficult to find new homes for the young ones. They are very easy to keep. But you should have a good sized tank (100L+).

I actually love the look of it if it's not too much. It's quite beautiful how it gently sways.

In my experience, they are only great if they have a tank of their own. In a community setting, not so great. If they have conditions to breed, they chase everything, if they don't, they don't color up. So, you either get the tank bully, or some bland fish. 😐 I've end up replacing them with German Blue Rams, not bullies and they do color up, and easy to keep, if your remember that they like it hot, at minimal 26 Celsius, ideal 28-29.

The title alone has me like “ Hell Yeah they are” my pair manage to get 3 fry to survive in my semi aggressive community. My Electric Blue Acara are 0-3 on protecting fry

The title states part 1, is there a part 2? Couldnt find it while looking through your videos but might have missed it

One of my favorite fish, but I've never been able to keep them alive with anything, they either beat up everything or stress out. I think they need a species only tank or heck IDK. Long to keeper of 40 years or so. I even kept them in late 80s

I have a male/female pair now. They are inseparable. Trying to breed them but havent been successful yet. I need more cave structure and vegetation coverage for them. Maybe more frequent water changes than usual. Very hardy fish. I kept them with normans lampeye killifish. Both fish are native to cameroon west africa region.

I just saw one of my Kribs massacre a family of 5 neo caradina shrimps just for fun not even eating them

I have 4 in a tall 75 gallon, lost the 5th on day 1... and they're only a few months or so old. Right now their tankmates are immature plecos, three pearl gourami, a few rummy-nose rasboras, and five immature mollies. Everyone seems happy, but I want to add a few more sterbai before spring. I'm thinking 3 more would be great.

I had a bad memory with it. I bought one male kribensis which attacked every single fish(including barbs, cories, tetras...) in my community tank. I had never seen such heavy aggression, so I just had to give it to someone.

Great video. Thank you.

love kribensis!! I haven't been able to find it where I live but they're awesome!!! a good analog could be a domestic convict also called "Blood Parrot Chiclids" which is a breed of convict chiclids.

Pretty fish

Love this video! I love the Kribensis, they are one of my favorite fish!! 🤍🤎 Thank you Lauren!

Perfect timing looking at starting them

A pet store not too far away from where I live seems to have hengelis although only 5. I'm baffled as to why they wouldn't have ordered more of them to their wholesaler... But what do I do now? 6 is the bare minimum required. I'm going to buy the 5 they have, just because it's rare to find those in the first place and I'll ask them to keep me in the loop if they were to get more in the near future 😊

I have a 55 gallon tank with lots of plant an just community fish. It about 3 months old the only algae I have a problem with is I am starting to get stag horn on the leaves. Do you think if I got 6 omano's they would help get rid of it ? I have been using flourish excell an trying to pick it off. I did buy 3 autos but they don't touch it.

I’ve been obsessed with “chili “ only but now I will be satisfied with all of the tiny little beauties 🙏🙏

Hi, from America. I love you so much and have been watching your videos for at least a year now and promoting you on all my American fish keepers channels. I’m so happy that you’re doing videos more frequently. You have just helped me decide on another tetra I must have! Thank you so much for being you!! Also you made my “microworm “ life a lot easier with that video.

Silver Flying Fox loves hair algae, and it's a fantastic fish. I keep a couple in most of my fish tanks. Wonderful cold water fish too

Cool video

Waiting for your video ❤

I have the Borarus maculatus (9 in a little species only tank) and I love them. They are not at all timid, use all levels of the water, and eat anything small enough to fit in their mouths. Possibly their bravery comes from the tank being heavily planted, but if they see me getting close, they all congregate excitedly at the surface expecting food, lol. Such elegant and personable wee fish.

I work at a pet store, and we sell black neon tetras pretty regularly. But you're right about kuhli loaches. They are TINY.

Danio wintinii are great either. Less than an inch.

What is the other species in there with them?

BROWN OR PALE SEE THRU BROWN

Thanks for sharing these adorable fish. Have you ever seen any sort of mating behavior from them? I have Maculatus and am super curious to know if Rasboras (other than cpd's) have been bred readily in the hobby.

This is such an underrated channel. Your choice of video and voice are so soothing

I have one that is HUGE over 6 inches for sure

Nice little fish. Thank you!

I'm so glad when your videos pop up at the top of my feed 😊 I love my rasboras/boraras having chillies and dwarves. Got to accommodate phoenix and exclamation points in the future

I really enjoy your videos because I get to see a lot of the fish while learning. I have 8 chilis, and they seem much bolder by comparison - some are always out and if any of us go to watch it only takes a minute before all have appeared, I assume to beg for food.

Love em, have phoenix, chillis and exclamation points in my 240. Have around 50

Boraras is olmost like intentional inversion ov syllables of the rasbora ...😊

How about breeding them?

I wonder if some of these boraras species can interbreed.. My fav fish family but they travel poorly I dont recommend ordering them online, buy them from shops if they are in good condition. Also from my experience, all these micro rasboras are not at all shy fish once they have settled in.

I read danios can’t go in a tank with no lid as they jump. Is that true?

Thank you!

Please make an endlers livebeares guide my favorite fish

0:19 Lol I'm watching this because I'm a kid wanting my oldest cory catfish to have a name suitable for his or her gender heh

A compiled video with stops in the film and arrows pointing out the details. Great video. Thank you

Curious to see how this goes, I keep Blue, Leopard, Celestial, and Zebra danios, never had the pearl version

My experience with red eyes they are very tough species. I set up my large fish tank over year ago, bought 8 of those tetras and till now i have 7 . It's very good resoult. I lost plenty neons, the same with panda corydoras . The worst survival rate i had with zebra danios . Bought about 10 and now im left with one or two . Otosinclus is doing very well , and they supposed to be difficult fish to keep. Going back to red eye tetras, tiny menagerie mentioned that they are brave fish. Absolutely not in my thak . They are the biggest cowards possible. Any movement in my living room and they run away under cover . And is very seldom to see them all , even during feeding only two or three the bravest shows up from under cover. But that is my experience i my tank .

The only youtuber saying the truth while others promise doing this or that will remove it over night.

Learnt something new, courgette 😂

Thanks for the content, I want a badis but worry about disrupting shrimp in my tank and the effort of feeding them. I have a lot of snails and I saw that you do as well - do you find the badis control the shrimp population at all? Anyway, love the footage, I like getting to know how the fish will behave.
