deanis Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Would it be wise to put more than one krib in a community tank. Will they kill all my other fish if they started to breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finaddict Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 what size of tank would you be keeping them in? i had a pair in a 29g with lots of plants/rocks. the male was not as colorful and had pointy dorsal fins, the females wwas rounded.yes once they get bigger they if u have a m/f they will breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanis Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 What I'm wondering is when they are breeding, will they become very aggressive towards their tank mates. It's a 30g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finaddict Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 mine became territorial.. protecting there cave. i had other fish with them, a few rainbows and a gold gourami.. they would get chased a bit but no fin damage.. once the eggs hatched they paraded they're new family around the tank. then after two weeks i took them out and raised them myself. r yours breeding yet???

deanis Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 No, I don't even have them yet. I am just trying to plan a tank, so i'm researching what I'm going to put in there. I don't want any suprises, like "hey, I thought I had more fish than that". Should the tankmates be about equal size to the kribs, or does it matter.

finaddict Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 what other tank mates have you considered???i would go same size..after all they are cichlids still. but they generally ar not tank busters. they can defend there territory... haha and my female got to about 3 1/2 inches...male 3..
