ryanjury Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 It is a bit of an unorthodox mix you have suggested but I have seen it work before the electric blues will probably eventually get too big and aggressive for the kribs but they might be ok.. I have also kept rainbows with the africans before, they are in the same boat as the kribs they adjust but I don't think it is that good for them.

firenzenz Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 As with Ryan- it is a slightly unusual mix but can see no reason why it can't work. I too have kept rainbows with africans and they do Ok in a group. Make sure the Kribs have plenty of cover/shelter If you keep groups of the different cichlids then they can tend to mix among themselves. You can always have a rogue individual that can come along and upset the cart-so keep that in mind. I have seen similar set ups on other forums where they have mild American cichlid like firemouths and or loaches in the mix. Other fast moving and larger schoolers like columbian tetras would also work. I think if you focus on water quality and consistency a fairly neutral PH will be fine for all your fish .

ryanjury Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Is this a new tank? Although it is a good size just be wary of cycling and all that good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
