A Question About Kribensis?

[bazzbeen]

Can kribensis and angel fish be put together in the same tank,i have 1 rather big angelfish,4 bolivan rams and a few live bearers,was thinking about adding a pair of kribs to my tank to,but was wondering if all them fish will mix?

 

[markandhisfish]

no probs with the angels ime. altho you vould well have issues with the rams . how big is the tank?

 

[bazzbeen]

its a 4ft tank m8,i take it rams and kribs dont mix well then?

Assuming you mean a male/female pair of Kribensis, I believe the previous poster is reffering to possible aggression when and if kribs decide to mate. bolivian rams and kribs share the lower levels of the tank and Kribs in spawning mode or protecting fry,, would /could take issues with bolivian rams who may show some interest in the fry or wander too close to nesting site. same could possibly happen if male/female bolivians decided to spawn.
Single Krib might be best choice in my view.

and is it ok to keep a single krib ,and if so i take a female would be best for there colours

Kribs and rams will fight , and the kribs will win. They are not good with angels either, as they like to attack the angels long, flowing fins. Females are the prettier of the two sexes.
