Can I just add that you seem quite heavily stocked for a 24 gallon tank.
Admittedly, the inch/gallon is not a hard and fast rule, and can be extended by experienced fishkeepers with good filtration, but that is quite a few inches you have in there.
It may well be that the kribensis is to blame for at least some of your present problems, but I would not be loking to adding any large fancy fish, or indeed any fish at all, to that tank, as it is already overstocked and those juvenile platys will grow into adult platys quite quickly.
