Nice kribs but to be honest I would never keep a pair of kribs in a 10 gallon tank.

iloveyou - I don't think anyone was 'yeslling' and I think it's better to tell people what you think, even if they don't like it. Just do it in a nice way. Should we not say anything if someone had an oscar/common plec/bala ina 10 gallon?

why not?
do you have kribs? (edit...i see you have a pair....still would like to know why you have that opinion...i know many who breed in a ten.)




as far as telling someone a tank is too small etc...it might be best to find out what is in the tank first a few juvie kribs? hm... from all the info i gathered juvie kribs school together ,and at approx 1 inch...there is more then enough room in a ten for them.

I have 4 adult kribs and some fry. I don't think a 10 gallon tank is big enough to keep a pair of kribs in becuase they get quite large and they can be aggressive and need the room to get away from each other. Add onto that the dither fish and you are way over the limit. The dither fish will be in danger because they have no escape from the kribs and the kribs have no escape from each other.

I did not say that your tank was overstocked at present, I did say that I would not keep a pair of kribs in a 10 gallon. Beofre commenting, it might have been better to read my post first.

my last comment wasnt directed to you... as you didn't comment on that originally

thanks for your opinion on adult size and tank space.
