Great stuff Blake. What would you keep, if anything, with Kribs in a 65L (60cm) tank? My brother is having hassles with the male killing everything (black neons, harlequins and others) that he has put in there. The parents eat the babies if he has nothing else in there to divert the aggression. I said just let them eat the babies. (he has 3 tanks full ~60 babies) I think the tank is too small for anything else in there.
Hmm thats a tricky one. I have an idea, try something a bit more aggressive like an odessa or tiger barb and also place a mirror in or near the tank to keep the dominant krib distracted. Always a gamble but thats what id do
Perfect choice! These fish deserve so much love, their sparring behavior is incredible to watch! Do I spy Apistogramma trifasciata in there. or is it something else?
You mentioned that you would comfortably keep 6-8 in a 40 litre tank. I currently have 6 of these in a 40 litre. Was this in addition to the apistogramma mentioned or as a stand alone setup? Great content thanks in advance 👍
Has anyone else had the horrible experience of killing these Golden Pencilfish with Melafix? Mine died immediately after dosing my tank with the recommended amount. Looks like others have had the same issue if you Google this. Be careful all. :(
No... but it has me worried as I'm about to take in a school of them and my tank being treated with both it and Pimafix for a female platy that has a scratch on her. I have glass cats and cories in there that survived Ich X and this treatment so far.

I really love your style of videos! They are jam packed with the important info along with beautiful images! Thank you from a beginner!
I loved the beckfords pencil fish image they were such great fish. And so pretty.
Mine eat flakes, micro pellets.
And they are BRIGH red and spawn every single morning! Extremely beautiful fish
Great video. Love the pencil fish.
Thank you! Cheers!

As a standalone, would get a bit crowded i think with an apisto or a pair. Id look at bumping up to a 60l for that
@@BlakesAquatics thanks for the response. I guess I'll go back to the original plan of some neons haha
Truly a nice little peaceful species. Thanks for the species spotlight on such a great apisto tankmate.
6-8 for 10 gal? Aww I'm about to get a 5 gal, guess just betta then

Sorry to hear! I dont use melafix (dont believe it does as much good as it does bad) luckily
