Notes:

January 23, 2001

We got these from from a TFCB auction. We're hoping they'll breed. So far they have made some caves and I have seen little ones, but they haven't lived for more than a few days.

We feed these fish tropical fish flakes, mostly Occasionally, they get frozen or freeze-dried bloodworms.

Here are some photos of our fish. Click on any photo for a larger view. These pictures were taken in the fall of 2000:

Here is a corydoras who lives in the tank
Here is a cave that the Kribensis they have excavated
Here's a picture of the tank. The Kribs themselves were elusive. I'll try for a better picture soon.

These photos were all taken with our Nikon Cookpix 990 digital camera (scaled down and compressed for the web). Feel free to write to me for more information or with any comments. Please do not copy or use these photos without contacting me for permission first. Thanks!
