Hmmm.
I not sure if thas gunna work to tell you the turth.
kribs and the butterfly cichlids are both bottom dwelling cichlids and then with corys on top of that im thinking since kribs can get pretty agressive espesially pairs.
and they might just pick your corys to death.
And then with the other cichlids since its a smaller tank they are gonna be fighting a little because their territorial.

Cories and cichlids dont go well,the cichlids tend to pick eyes out of cories when they are laid on bottom poor fellas wouldnt last long and as they can live 15yrs plus (I have some ive had 9yrs}little fellas need to be happy and safe,YL.

First of all, Welcome to the forum! Kribs and thomasii cichlids are african cichlids and cories and tetras dont mix with them.
