Naturally alkaline water (most tap water) will produce mostly females. Test your water weekly or twice per month (minimum) for pH and keep it steady by doing regular water changes once per week (25% is optimal), and adding a pH buffer to reach your desired pH. In a system with a pressurized CO2 system your pH should be regulated already. Depending on the age and compatibility of your Kribensis, you sho
