Can I Hav Kribs With These

[Dan C]

Hi all

was in my lfs and see some kribs that i liked the look of but im not sure if they will go with what i already hav in my tank.

I have a 110l tank stocked with 1 male betta and 4 females plus 4 corys.

Thanks

Nope, not a good idea. The kribs will kill the corries, or scare the crap out of them. And take chunks out of the betta's.

Yeh agreed...your better off looking at Apistos or Rams

I wouldn't keep rams with them either, maybe severums or apistos.

Apistos or Rams yes Sevs no get waaaayyyyy to big for that tank

Right Wills, I forgot about the tank size . yeah and rams nipped my female betta really bad, then i had to return her.

I have my kribs with three female bettas and 4 cories. Everyone seems to be getting along just fine. also do you have your male and female bettas in the same tank, how has that been working out for you?

I have a pair of breeding kribs and another male krib in a community tank which contains corys neons, cardinals, black phantom tetras and rainbow fish. everyone gets along fine! Just depends on the kribs I guess!

Kribs will only harras fish like corys if they are cramped.

The pair were in a 30g tank with caves and everything. They were not cramped.

I would say that is cramped.

Most definatley not. THe recommended tank size for Kribensis is 15 to 20 gallons, depending on stocking. So, 30 gallons isn't cramped. Especially when the fish doesn't get bigger than 4 inches.
