Kribensis ( Pelvicachromis pulcher ) 

Are you interested in which camera I used to film this video ? There is a link to the exact model in the video description above.

After seeing the quality of your video there is no reason for me to video my fish in a much less spectacular manner. Wow . You take the time to assemble and edit incredible videos.

Probably one of the best videos on RU-vid. I studied Kribensis and even did a Biology project on them - but this video even taught me a few things! Absolutely great work! Well done!

Your films are incredible. This is how biology lessons should look like. Amazing work.

I'm running out of adjectives to describe how fabulous your videos are. This was better than watching a National Geographic Special. I have bred Kribs so many times over the years but I feel as though I have never really seen the fish until now. As someone else commented, no quick shots here; you show the whole story and are not in a hurry. Amazing. I wonder how many hundreds of hours went into the making of this video?

I am very impressed with your close up detailed video, your information, and overall quality.

I'm wanting to put some in my community tank with some rams but about 50% of people say don't and 50% say do? Tank is a 270 liter tank. Excellent video btw they make excellent parents.

Incredible video! The recorded behavior of the fish with the depth of information has definitely peaked my interest. Thank you for taking the time creating and sharing with us.

I enjoyed this video very much. Your camera is amazing! I’m glad you aren’t in a hurry to share their story. Being a crazy fish person, I enjoy the extended clips of just how they do things and hanging out watching them.

Excellent photography and information! I can only imagine how long this footage took to collect, thank you!

Incredible video! Thank you so much for the detailed info, it answered all my questions 🙏

This was the only video i had downloaded when my power cut out and I watched it twice.... i didn't download it with sound but I played my own music and it was amazing!!! Very good video.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was awesome. Bought three pairs, one for a friend's 5th grade classroom. Looking forward to breeding up a bunch. Best video I've seen by a LONG shot on Kribs.

Another top quality vid, simply stunning.You really do these creatures justice, showing such interesting behaviour and those babies are sooo cute! Great information also and very peaceful to watch. Really appreciate the effort you put in, cant wait to see what you come out with next. Sincere thanks.

Beautiful footage, extremely detailed information. Amazing video.

I watched this yesterday, and now i have a pair of Kribensis. The ultimate guide you made. Bravo !

This is the most detailed video I have ever watched! Thanks!!

Lovely video - so interesting to watch - shows how intelligent the fish are. Thanks for this!

These videos are so cool! You do a great job making these high res video of these fish, it's always interesting to watch!

Superb introduction to this interesting and rewarding species. Thank you

Thx so much for this video and intensive info, I’ve learnt so much I’m now the proud first time sub parent to 70 babies that are now in a grow out tub (8 wks old) Mum and Dad are living it up in the 40 gal 😉💞 Another round to come soon no doubt It wasn’t my intention to become a breeder but looks like Mr and Mrs K are happy for me to take my hobby to another level Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🐠

Hi Dave, The best video I ever seen about the Kribensis video ...........Thanks a Lot

Very good work. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it all. Thank you very very much. 🙂

Amazing video as always!

Hey, love your videos! Every single one of them is like a documentary and the style you create them is extremely professional. I wish there were more videos! ( i have some kribs with eggs now)

What an enlightening video; top-notch in every aspect; also your talent, time and expertise in editing is also soon apparent. Thank you, The Dave, for your efforts and for sharing !

This is how video should be made... Excellent job really enjoy look forward to your future work... Spielberg 😂✌🏾

This is what you call a good educational video,excellent video helped me with everything i needed thank you👌

awesome video, great fish and a very nice tank!!

The Dave, this has got to be the most enjoyable video I’ve seen on RU-vid, dont agree that you should add music or speak I think it makes the viewer concentrate that bit more,( did me anyway ) well done and thanks 👍🏻

This is an amazing video. I will definitely go for Kribensis. :)

WOW!! This is the best video regarding fry I've ever seen and I've seen a lot!! Amazing footage!! Thank you!!!

Lovely video!! One day I would love to keep these.

I highly appreciate your effort in making of this video. You have put in lot of time i.e. 2-3 months in making of this video. Great effort.

This is undoubtedly the best fish breeding video I've ever seen!! Thank you so much for all the details you put into it!! ❤

I just got a matched pair today for my planted tank,am glad I found this video it will help me along the way,thank you!

Brilliantly detailed video. Absolutely love it. Bravo.

It's a good video when you watch all of it no matter if its 40 minutes. Like that cross section of the cave.

This video was is FANTASTIC.....best Ive seen

I wish vids like this were around 55 years ago when my father and I were trying to raise kribs. (And angels. And betas. And angels. My dad was obsessed with raising angelfish).

oh my god, this is wonderful!!! I watched the whole thing, laughed and could not take my eyes off the video or your comments. I am a newbie since December 2018. I have raised and sold Albino Cory. And now am having luck, and I mean luck, at White Cloud Mountain Minnows. Have 10 minnow fry in with about 75 Cory fry. I would love to try what you have done here. I have heavily planted tanks. the cory and minnows are in a 36 gal. bowfront and cory eggs are everywhere most of the time. The minnows lay ther eggs in floating plants etc. And I have been transferring plants from bowfront to nursery tank often. And this seems to produce results. Thanks for that GREAT video!

Wow! The photography was AMAZING! You did a great job of presenting the Kribs. Enjoyed it temendously! Thanks You!

Cool. Your quality looks like that of Nat Geo. You should call them. Take care.

Astounding, thank you so much.

Thank you.

Damn. Sharpness in this video is pleasing to the eye.

Always loved kribs .I remember as a child my dad had a breeding pair .He had an internal filter system and the poor fty all got sucked into it .He got them all out carefully , Great video ty Dave .Inspired myself to get some .Without the filter my father had ofc .;p

That was the best video on breeding a fish I have ever seen! Thank you very much for making it. It was inspiring and entertaining !

Great, very informative video! That panasonic camera is spectacular. Thanks for posting this up - I just picked up a few Kribs the other day - I've wanted them for years. Nice work, Dave!

Thank u 👏👏👏

Stunning video. This is a whole different level of RU-vid videos. I need a “The Dave “ t-shirt!!

Thank you for this beautiful and informative video, and for the evident care and effort, you put into making it.

It is amazing! Recently my Kribensis layed eggs and I'm hope all will well. This video helping me very much. Tnx Dave!

This video is stunning, well recorded and inspiring, I love all the clarifications here and the advices. My two kribensis just became parents today and I was able to see the dance of the female, the creation of lair and her laying the eggs upside down, I thought of your video! :) Hope to be able to grow the future babies when they come, I am so nervous and happy!

Definitely inspirational. So looking forward to doing this. Brilliant footage and info. 👍

Wow salute to your hardwork i really enjoy watching 👍

I enjoyed every moment, thank you for sharing such marvelous footage.

37:08 "Damn it John, are you eating the children again?"

Amazing content as usual. Great work!

This is, Hands down, the Best Video on Krib on the Internet, and I have searched thoroughly and widely to be making this remark! So much information, very nicely presented which made it very easy to understand! I'm currently working on pairing a Krib and hopefully breed then soon! They were being very timid and hiding away always, so I put 3 pair of guppies in with them in the 15gallon tank with one pair of Kribensis! Would that cause any trouble? Or they would be fine? Guppies usually tend to stay on the above part of the tank so I hoped that it wouldn't cause any trouble

One of my favourite fish and one of the first I bred also one of the best fish to watch when breeding . Another excellent video dave

Krib vid exceptional. All of your vids are but that one was truly great work.

Very cool and clear video with nice highlights and pointers

Just amazing!. Thank you for the wonderful footage.

Nice video Dave. I know what u went through to film the "Kribs". (I'm a dvd producer ret.) Well I bred them seven weeks ago and after about 2-3 weeks I had to remove the male (isn't love grand) they were fighting, biting, fin slapping, etc. The male was not to happy when I pass the small tank he gives me the fin! My guess is he wanted to spawn again but the female was not ready. Although I've been out of the hobby for some time, I always liked Cichlids. You are correct, they are one of the easiest Cichlids to breed. Thanks good work!. JosephObe

Great video. Wondered if you were still around. Enjoyed your older vids. Have you ever kept kribs with Congo tetras. I want a few tank mates that are from Africa. Any suggestions?.

thank you for a very informative video and taking the time to share this knowledge

I have to admit you have got me thinking of going back to these but one of the newer colours.

Awesome video! So informative, great camerawork and editing. Agree that this is the best breeding video I've ever seen.

Love the video! I want to try Kribensis again...had a pair many years ago.

This is the best fish in color.

Thanks for the video!

The montage of dad slurping up the babies is killing me. 😂 I understand Mama’s concerns. Amazing work here! You should work for Nat Geo! New sub!

Awesome video documentary!!!

Hi u r back again..

Fantastic footage. Very informative. Thanks for a great video.

Great video enjoyed Thank You Dave

Amazing, thanks

Fantastic documentary - Inspired - thank you

Most detailed video that I have seen. Thanks!

Holy cow, this is a good one right here !!!

Fascinating and fabulous footage of Kribensis life and behaviour. It's very interesting species, l like them by watching them more and more 🐟 Keeping cichlids you must constantly have an eye on them, l mean adult fish. They are strict and hot blooded when comes to solve their problems (often imagined). Regarding this cichlids are opposite to tolerant , easy going Ancistrus species.

thanks for making this beautiful video, i really enjoyed it and lots of helpful information

Thank you for the most remarkable video production I have ever encountered on the life cycle in an aquarium it is just brilliant. Here's my dilemma and hoping you can help. I'm a total newbie but have had my 35 gallon tank going on for bout 4 years now. It is stocked with about 14 Tetera's some new but most are about 3 years old with the exception on one Angel fish whose now 4 years old and about 4 inches in size. About 6 weeks ago I made a decision to introduce live plants to my tank. Slowly it is taking hold and I'm delighted with its progress. Having grown up in East Africa I had fond memories of playing with the wild colourful Cichlids that were in the rocky shorelines of Lake Victoria. The natural result was a desire to have some Cichlids in my community tank. Researched it and discovered that this would necessitate a complete change to my current setup due to the PH but was told that Kribensis would make ideal tank mates with my existing setup. So three weeks ago I acquired 5 Rainbow Kribensis (two males & 3 females) from a local hobbyist. They are all doing well in their new environment until a couple of days ago when I noticed the female reacting differently as she would do a shimmering movement (dance) and both the male and female had became a little more aggressive with the rest of its tank mates. Thats when I found your channel on RU-vid, and realized that the pair were nesting in a Conch shell I had placed in my aquarium. I'm figuring that I maybe in for a surprise and soon to be a grandfather that I'm not quite yet ready for! My question and concern is this; if it does happen can the fry survive in my community tank or do I need to relocate to another tank that I don't have as it would takes months to establish. Your guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any guidance you may offer me.

Awesome as usual!

what a brill video , camera work outstanding great knowledge shown. best iv seen well done

Nice aquarium

Great video. A pleasure to watch. It gave me an excellent feel for the fish.

Great video! Used it as reference to get my first pair of Kribs to breed a year ago. Now their kids have kids of their own. I had to break the parents apart, the male killed the 2nd female so he was adopted by a local fish store.

Just awasome, I am also trying to breed them, learning lots of things form your video , thank you so much 😘

Really enjoy your videos. So detailed and well done!

Excellent video! Thanks a lot, The Dave...

Great video love your work

Mom: honey have you been eating the kids again? It makes them nauseous. Dad: no of course not hun! *spits kids out* Kids: ugh.... again again!

Amazing video mate!! Thank you and congratulations!! What a nice job!!! 👍👍👍

Amazing video! It's like a Natural geographic movie 😁 Very professional! I enjoyed every minute.

I just ordered a DeWalt metal shelf from Home Depot to set up a 55 gallon as main breeding tank and have the 36 Bowfront on the second shelf. Shelf holds total of 4500 lbs. in my living room. Always nervous of flooding. Ha ha. Bowfront though is for 4 beautiful fancy gold fish. Poor things are in a 20 gal. I can use any advise at all. Thank you for replying. Made my day. Talktoyalater

Excelente, no he visto mejor video que este. Felicidades y muchas gracias.

Awesome work!

Very wonderful video
