krib companions

Can I keep kribs with guppies and cories?
the lfs said no problem, but I wanted to check with you all first...

I'm not sure on guppies but I have platties and mollies with my Kribs and have no problems

Would it be a pair? I wouldn't keep a breeding/potentially breeding pair of kribs with cories or any other bottom feeders as the kribs would see these as more of a threat to the fry. I have a sole male krib in my 160litre community tank with 12 cories without any problems though.

The upper dwellers should be ok. What size is the tank?

 

[rollntider]

no corys if male and female

 

[iloveyou]

yea the pair will go crazy when breeding and most likely kill mr and or mrs guppy

How so? Some fish have to be kept with breeding kribs as 'taget' or 'dither' fish.

Okay, so not an easy subject
some say cories are bad, some say guppies are bad...
guess I won't take any risk, and just not buy them
quite unfortunate, cause I think it was a good price: 3euro (I think that's about 4dollars)

the tank is 54l, so maybe too small anyway...
