Compatibility With Kribs

[mnewsholme]

Hi all

Second tank, 95l moderately planted, is just finishing cycling. Plan is for either one or two pairs of Kribs as main inhabitants. What would make good fish for upper region. I'm think dwarf rainbow fish as something a bit different. Already got a 200l community tank with a lot of usual suspects in it. Want to only have two or three more interesting species in the second tank.

Any suggestions?

95 liters is a bit small for Kribs and a few other species. Kribs are probably one of the larger dwarf cichlids, especially the males - have you considered any other dwarfs? Or could you look at a 125 liter tank? It just gives you a bit more space and more chances of it working long term and for the full life span of the Kribs.
 
I would mainly look at adding a school to the tank which will give the Kribs more confidence, in a larger tank I would say something like Black Ruby Barbs, but in this tank Im struggling but thinking of something like Harlequin Rasboras or Cherry Barbs
