10 Gallon Kribensis.

I saw some kribs in my LFS the other day, and they are a lot more prettier than they are in pictures. They didn't have the apistogramma I wanted at the shop, so I didn't buy anything. But I am curious as to if I can keep 1 Krib in a 10 gallon with some dithers. I was told that the Krib will eat the neons I have in the African section. I can eaisly get rid of my neons. After I get rid of my neons, would I be able to have ANY dithers?

Bump.

personally i wouldn't. They do need a lot of swim room and plenty of places to hide. Most of the websites say 20g minimum, some say 30g min

btw, why ask again cos you have already posted the same thread in the Cichlid section earlier in the week.

I have a 'teenage' male krib in a 65 litre tank (14 imperial gallons) and he's feeling the space. Keeps pestering my panchax. Wouldn't want to keep one in anything else - they are 4 inch long fish! Need a 24 inch tank minimum.
