Future Stocking Question?

[cryosniper]

As the cycle on my 29g gets underway, I've been looking into what I want to stock it with and have sort of came to a decision. I want 1 Kribensis and 8-10 tiger barbs. I heard contradicting stories on whether or not Kribs and T-Barbs mix. Anyone have experience?

I havn't kept Kribs with Tiger barbs, but I had kept them with Odessa barbs. Odessa barbs are not as nippy as tiger barbs, but I don't see any problem with keeping Kribs with barbs at all. I would even maybe go with 3 Kribs instead of 1.

As far as I'm aware, 3 kribs of one sex would have territory issues, and if I got them mixed, two would make a pair and bully the other one to death. At least, that's how I think it goes. Plus, I think I'm already kind of pushing it, in terms of stocking, with 8-10 barbs and 1 Krib lol. Its good to hear the barbs and Krib should mix though. Thanks.
