I am currently owning a 20 Gallon tank and i did a fishless cycle.
About 3 weeks ago i added a pair of Kribensis to the tank and 2 weeks
after I added 3 Zebra Danios. What else could fit into this tank
i was looking for something quite colourful to make the tank stand out.
Please Help, Thanks
 
Kribensis woo good choice :)

Heres a few suggestions..

cherry barbs (orange females, red males)
could possibly get away with guppies (obviously very colourful if you choose males)
rummy nose tetras (colourful in larger groups, night bright red head and stripy tail)
 
Wouldnt the kribs like to snack on the guppies?? Sure I read somewhere they did - could be wrong, just something in the back of my head :)

Add more to the danios, they like to be in bigger groups :good:
 
Remove the dainos, 6 Corys (Peppered//Panda) and 8 Rasboras (Galaxy, Harlequin etc...)

i dont think so, because they are a bit big to fit in their mouths..

maybe they attack them when they are breeding, they do get defensive over their young

Ive had a few sets of kribs and still have 2 pairs, each pair Ive had has attacked guppies and torn the fins to shreds, its mainly when the kribs have "claimed" their territory and defend it with force, (not just during breeding time) even tho they are bottom dwellers they will chase fish at all levels if they are not happy, Endlers would be a big no no too as they fit in the kribs mouth adult male) and if it moves the male will try to eat it if there is the slightest chance it can be swallowed.

Other than that kribs have great personalties and well worth having. and if you do end up with guppy fry the kribs will keep those under control.
 
guppies will get attacked by the kribs, as will the corys. i'd get at least 3 more zebra danios.
