    Keep the second male from the top and the female below him.Sell the other two males or move them to another tank.
    They prefer upended claypots with a hole in the side.

    Have a close look at the Dorsal(Top) fin.You will see that the male's fin is pointed while the female's is rounded at the back.With Kribs this is a failsafe way.

    Agree 100% with Slojo and if you want to breed them use the second male and the female under him they look great. as for the rest get them out the tank before they get badly hurt. if you want more female I have a whole bunch.

    im thinking of using the new tanks i got for breeding, maybe bettas or cories. im not sure what would be easier, i got 2 female peppers and a male as well as one panda which i have to find a mate for as soon as i know what sex it is, i gota wait for it to grow a lil more. betta wise i have my vulcan who is a crown tail and i have 3 females coming, 2 halfmoons and a crowntail though the crowntail will probably be sterile as she's black and they always sterile apparently.
