Kribensis Compatability

[mhancock]

I've been offered a female krib by a local fish fanatic, would she be compatible to go with either of:
1) A 55l tank that has a betta (also cardinals, swordtails and panda corys) OR
2) A 225l tank that already has a mating pair of kribs (also angels, gourami, tetras, ram, glass cats, peppered corys)

Thanks,



Mark

hi i have a male and female krib in my tank with dwarf gourami a red tailed shark congo tetras and a plec and they all get a long fine im not sure about the mating pair of kribs though

Thanks,

Just realised that I should have put this in the African / Old World Cichlids section so will post the same message there too!

Bump - no replies in the other section, would really welcome some input here please!

Bettas and cichlids are a combo that is not recommended but the rest of the tank mates in that tank are fine. I wouldnt put her in with the mated pair - the other female is likely to bash her if they are an established couple.

Thanks Gilli, I suspected that may have been the response......

Stay away from that mating pair of kribs. Who needs an intruder when you are trying to mate after all. A mating pair of kribs can get very territorial and would not make a good destination for your new female.
