kribs

Featured Replies

Well I have just found a sight that tells me how big these guys get. Oh dear was my first thought. So my question is do I keep them in a comunity tank with some Apistograma Agassizis, corys, GBA's and such or do I chunck them in with the Electric yellow and Blue Zebra Malawi Mbunas? They have managed to kill 3 of my 4 panda corys (have moved the pandas...they were abit young)

Would love to here oppinions, suggestions.

Thanks

how many kribs do u have? i have mine in with neons, bristlenose, pictus cats, rummy nose tetra, siamese fighter etc and they are all fine! how big is ur tank?

Kribs can be very territorial when breeding. Best bet if you don't want community troubles have only males or females in the community or put all your kribs in their own tank - however when a pair develops they will pick on their own kind mostly which takes the pressure of other community fish. Babies and juveniles of any species will probably not make it in with a breeding pair or any adult kribs - not their own babies though - they are great parents.

Your africans would prefer harder water than what your kribs will like.

They are great fun to have though and nice to look at.

I have 2 pairs of kribs. In the 4 foot tank I have 2 male 4 female electric yellows and 2 male 4 female blue zebras.

The Kribs would be ok in with the Africans but would most likely be under pressure from the Zebra and yellow aggression - especially because the Kribs will be the new kids on the block. Hope you can sort out some peace. It's not easy finding enough tanks for grouchy cichlids.
