Hey i have a small firemouth maby it is 1 - 2 inches, so i left it in a trap big enouth so it can swim around in, Can i put it with
2x honey gouramis .. 3 inches.
2 dwarf gouramis .. 2 inches.
2 gold rams .. 1 inch.
1x Bolivian Ram .. 4 inches.
2x ottos .. 1 and a half inches.
1x bulldog pleco .. 3 inches.
2x kribs, male .. 3 inches, female ... 2 inches.


Can the baby firemouth go in with these?
 
you can never say for sure if fish will be ok together.depends on the fish. this mix ix not ideal and probably shouldnt be its permanent home. however should be ok for a while or mabie for a long while...

with my firemouth ive found that they generally dont notice (or attack) non-cichlid tankmates. but mine are still quite small as well...

the kribs mite not take to well to the firemouth
 
Personally I woulnt. If he's peaceful then i suppose so. Im suprised your Kribs havnt un-leashed hell.
 
Sorry, should have explained.

Firstly from experience ive found that Kribs can be bullies and push everyone around.

Secondly when they breed (which is very readily) they are mean dudes and batter your other fish.

However i have learnt that not every cichlid of a species has the same temperament and your Kribs may be peaceful.
 
yh my other pair used to be very aggressive and these to only seem to push the fish away and not bite there fins of so * fingers crossed * i have a good pair this time.
