Our Kribs won't breed?

We have been trying to breed Kribs for a few months now and just can't seem to get it right.

First attempt - we put 6 into their own tank. One pair did the whole ritual, staking territory, moving things around and dancing for each other, while the others spent all their time beating each other up so we pulled the unmated ones out. The pair seemed happy enough and stayed close to their nest but we didn't get any babies

second attempt - we watched the ones in the community tank and again a pair did the whole ritual with no results

third attempt - when a pair in the community tank started their ritual we moved them into their own tank, it's been a month and still nothing

Does anyone have any tips or hints?

 

My advice is just leave them if you see that you have a paired up pair then you should just leave them and make sure you have allot of hiding spaces and plants in the tank ,unfortunately there is no quick way to get them to breed they do it in their own time so all you can do is give them everything they need/want and then just wait

Sometimes it's quick and sometimes it takes a couple of months

 

thanks for the advise

 

perfect, thanks. we made sure that they have 3 hidy holes just wanted to see if there was anything else they might need

 

What is the pH/kH/gH of your water? Maybe they are breeding but the eggs are not surviving/being fertilized. You want a pH of about 6.5, kH and gH should be about 100 ppm.

 

didn't even think to check that, thanks. The pH is 6.2 not sure about the dGH but will definitely check it
