Catfish And Kribensis

[RogerC]

Here is a pic of my Krib pair...

Sorry for the quality, it's only my phone camera.

My question is this:

What catfish would get along better with Kribensis than my Green Corys?

The Kribs spend half their time chasing the Corys.

Both have plenty of caves to hide in, but the Kribs keep the Corys in hiding during the day.

Kribs dont tolerate anything in their territory, catfish, plecs or fish in general

 

[RogerC]

So....does that mean NO scavengers at all?

 

[Ferris]

A catfish bigger than the Kribs and able to take care of itself should do just fine. Most Plecs are OK but many species viability will depend on the size of your tank. Most Synodontis catfish will also work, again check their potential size compared to your tank.

i have my pair for kribs with 4 corys in a 29g and they get along fine except everytime the corys get near the kribs cave they get shoed off.. no biting or real aggression tho. all fisha re different though and my kribs are 1st time parents (they only have eggs now) so they might not be as protective

The pair had eggs inside a cave, but after a couple of days the eggs disappeared.

They were still very protective of the cave, so I figured they had buried the eggs.

A couple days later, they were out swimming around like nothing was going on, so I guess they ate them.

The Corys survived with only some nipped tails.
