Think Ive Made A Huge Error ( Kribs )

[corrina67]

after a lot of research i decided to get 2 kribs for my tank m+f they seemed to be fine yesterday, checked in my tank this morning and my 3 corys have gone in to hiding 1 has half a tail and a couple of other fish are missing chunks out thier tails, im sure its the make krib and im not sure what to do, will he settle in a couple of days or should i just take him back i really dont want to lose my corys thier like my little babys

sorry i didnt mean to post it twice, that krib got me all flustered, any way i have taken him back lfs (after i dismantled tank to catch the bloody thing ) who specialise in chichlids they said to leave the female as she has no problem with other fish at moment and go back and get a male in a few days time, so hopefully when i put a male back she will have alredy become boss they have been tank bred so im hoping all will be ok, hope that makes a little sense

Ive got a female krib with two cory and she still chases them around but hasnt bitten them yet. Im moving her out soon as its not fair to the cory.
Once the kribs start breeding all hell will break loose on the bottom and the cory will be chased a lot. I would just keep the female on her own as the fry arent sellable anyway unless the pet store has agreed to take the young.

Corys are particularly bad fish to have in with territorial bottom dwellers, as they are bottom dwellers themselves but complete innocents when it comes to territory: they cannot grasp the concept and will go bumbling all over somebody else's special patch. Being totally lacking in aggression themselves, they are defenceless against aggression in others.
