aggresive krib

[poohbear]

I have 2 kribs in my community tank with neon tetras and guppys.
One has always chases the other one and now its attacking my guppys.
Should I try finding a new home for him and would the other one be fine on its own.
I dont really wanna get rid of him cause hes showing his colors really nice now but I dont want it to cause problems with the rest of my tank.

thanks

its nor really the best idea to keep kribs with guppies. and the one that chases minght be male, and the other female.

 

[aberdeen aquarist]

are they both the same sex?

if not, it sounds like one is ready to breed and the other isn't.

they are both the same sex and years ago I kept guppies with kribs.
As guppies tend to stay at top of tank and kribs bottom didnt have any problems then.
