Wok Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Hi. Just got some very cheap Kribensis and just wondering whether they are ok in a community tank with Discus, Bristlenose, Guppies and Clown loaches. Cheers Wok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachy Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Yea i have kept kribs in community, its ok but like alan said watch out if they start breeding, they can be teritorial but then again you mite have no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Just hope they breed at one end of the tank and not the middle of it :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Hi Kribs are fantastic fish but do get aggressive when breeding , as long as the fish they are in with are fast enough to get out of Daddies way , they is no problem but if there slow and push there luck .....another story. Kribs are worth a tank of there own ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 My individual male krib has caused a lot of trouble, even without the encouragement of a mate. As a result my community tank is now contains only fish that are either fast or inconspicuous. This is probably just a particularly bad individual, but they certainly have the potential for causing chaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 i dont think id put them in with discus fast moving things arent usualy a good idea in a discus tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I kept a very large male with my Discus for a few years with no problems, but he was very placid. Watch out because they will dig caves under rocks wood etc, so make sure anything like this is sitting on the tank bottom not on the top of the gravel or you might risk it falling over.

Wok Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Thanks for all the replies every one. My Kribs are only 2cm long at the moment so hopefully they won't cause too much trouble. Don't have anything that is at risk of falling over if they do a bit of excavating. Been in there for 3 days so far and no problems. Cheers everyone Wok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Holden Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Hi, Wok, Graeme here, I have Kribensis in my big tank and they get on with everyone except guppies, swords and platties, all of those mentioned are just not fast enough. Mine are in with very large Pleco, large tinfoil, catfish,clown loaches, they were also ok with Silver Shark and Silver dollar. They tousled with the Jewels though, don't really know who won there, I removed the Jewels before they caused too much trouble, cheers, p.s. the plant and the guppies are doing great tks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perky Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 i use to have kribs ............... UNTIL THEY KILLED ALL OF MY FISH!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: It was breeding season though. I think I did go a bit over the top with dealing with the situation. Got so pi**ed off that I fed one to my rather large oscars. perky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
