ok i have just taken in a gorgeous pair of jewel cichlids and what i believe is a zebra cichlid (looking very beaten indeed that one is!) they are at the moment in a tank together (thats how they came) but i dont know if its the male jewel beating up the zebra or not?
can i put these three in with a pair of kribs..and if so how big would the tank need to be to stop any territorial issues? (if they would go together that is, the kribs are in my community tank at the moment but would like to give them a bit of a calmer place!)
also would it be wise to get the zebra a friend of his own kind as he looks oh so lonely in the corner on his own
 
The thing you have to worry about is both of them are they are both agressive.
Jewels more often than not will be very if they pair up.
(Talking from experience here)
I think if you had around 3-4ft tank.
Plenty of caves and what not.
You could stand a chance of these living together.
Thats IMO though.

so a rio 180 would be fine??? caves are no problem, i have so many plantpots/rocks etc to make them out of.

i believe jewels like a low flow filter...is that ok for the others too?
 
fantastic, many thanks for the super speedy replies...am off to work on their new home right now :)

maybe put some sort of sponge or carbon over the intakes the best bet would be posting another topic up asking that question.

this is outside of my expertise though :unsure:
