hi all thought id just post and let you all know that i am in debait with myself to set up a new tank haha since i am only young and hav only had fish for lets say nearly 2 years now i am thinking that it may be time to set up another tank and i just love dwarf cichlids, as some of you may know i used to keep and breed litle kribs until unfortunatly they died Sad so i have decided in the next couple of weeks after crimbo i am goin to set up a new aquarium nothing too fancy tho as i have a 2ft tank already set up with my german blue rams and dont have alot of space so i am thinking just a nice 1.6ft tank x1x1 shud do just nicely and get some more kribs i have been looking around at some on the internet and i realy like the look of yellow rock kribs so i think i might see about getting some of them when i get sorted with a new set up.

Teesside Koi have some albino kribs which i like the look of and maybe buy in the new year. It's funny how you have kept kribs because it's something I've been drawn to every time i go into an aquatic shop. I used to keep and breed kribs myself.
18 x 12 x12 is a good size for a pair like. But to grow the youngsters on unfortunately you will need another tank.
