all tetras but congos will probably get attacked, the rasboras and the gouramis may suffer aswell, fish need to be quick or tough or willing to stick up for themselve or all three lol

sorry to be a kill joy but i had to get rid of mine, its shame cos i really liked them and they used to love live/frozen daphnia

I have to agree with above^^.

A pair of Kribs would not fair too well in your tank, sorry, they are really neat fish!

What I would do, since Kribs are worth keeping, is plan on setting up a new Cichlid tank setup for some Kribs in the future, and go from there.

It is really fun making a Cichlid tank, trying to "mimic" their natural environment!

Look into it!

I'd worry more about the stocking level.

My krib pair will chase but they have never even ripped a fin on my ottos, cories, or tetras.

From experience... your guppys will last about 12 minutes. Something about those long waving tails says eat me!

I have the same dilema,whether to accept a pair of 'Dehane' kribs

I have a Juwel Vision 180

Current tank mates include Gold Barbs,Emperor Tetras,Dwarf Neon Rainbows,Pearl Gourami,amano shrimp and 2 BN's.

Any obvious/major problems here?

rubyuk,
i don't know much about it personally, but based on what i've gathered, kribs would probably be ok. gold barbs probably get big enough to put up with the kribs, but there might be some bickering because the kribs are really territorial, and the barbs probably stay in the same level of the tank as the kribs (mid to lower right?).

your amano shrimp will probably become a snack very quickly.

the other fish are probably big enough to not be too bothered, and will be in a different area of the tank than the kribs so the kribs probably won't bother them much. your tank is also probably big enough for them to "stake their claim". i think it's probably a safe bet.
