Kribensis Growout

[divemaster99]

How long would a pair of kribensis last in a 5.5G (16"x8"x10") before they needed upgraded, in terms of size? I'd like to breed a pair in a 5.5G I'm freeing up this week and was going to let the parents take care of the fry in the same tank so I wasn't sure how long they'd last in a 5.5.

Lol i have 33 under 2 inches thriving in a 6g fluval chi tank. Filtration and water changes and they are fine. I have 30 more still in with the parents which was the next brood. Gonna get a used 55 and grow em up. But they've been fine in the chi for a month now.

With the adults though you probably want something bigger than that. Ideally like a 20/29 they will do alot better there.

I used a 4 foot tank for growout of kribs
Found that bigger tank was easier to keep the water pristine
Also didn't need to have a separate tank for the parents
