A Betta And A Krib Together?

[tibby25731]

I have been told over on another part of the forum that it is possible to keep a betta with a female krib... what do you betta experts think? I hope it is feasible as I really would like a betta but need my female krib to live in the tank I want to put him in......

How big is the tank and what sort of filter is running on it?

 

[tibby25731]

The tank is 2ft , 60 litres and has an internal filter. There are also some african dwarf frogs in there - 2 to be exact, though I want to add another 3 or 4.

not sure how kribensis go with frogs but it should be fine with the male fighter in that size tank. Just make sure there isn't too much water movement because fighters (bettas) don't like being washed all over the tank. Having a few floating plants in the tank can reduce currents and give the betta somewhere to hang out. The kribensis can have a cave to hide in.
You might want to post a thread about frogs and kribs to see if they're compatible.

Thanks Colin! I have kept frogs for about a month and a half now with 2 kribs and other than one of the kribs chasing the frogs away from her cave when she laid her first eggs, they seem fine together

cool, now all you have to do is go and find yourself a fighter
