Breeding Kribs

[Breakthecycle2]

Would a 10 gallon tank with just a few ghost shrimp and a cory or two be ok to keep a pair of Kribs in? Or is it just too small and I would be better off putt ing my pair of Bolivian Rams in there? I havent set it up yet and was wondering which direction I should go?

its large enough for NEITHER. a 15g is the absolute minimum size tank for a pair of rams and i'd not put kribs in anything less than a 20g based on my pair's abusive relationship.

As long as that 20g is the long variety, as I don't feel you'll gain much with the added height of the 20H. Even then, you'll have to watch them for abusive behavior. I had kept a pair of P. subocellatus in a 20L. Once they became sexually active, all other fish had to be removed. Occasionally, one or the other (usually the male) had to spend a few days in time out (seperate 10g).
