Krib Vs Cory

[Alex1110]

I have one female krib with barbs, gouramis, a RTBS, a bristlenose, and some cories. The krib was my last addition to my tank, about 3 weeks ago. The cories have been in for about 3 months. I had 4 to start with, and now i only have 2, and im pretty sure my krib is the culprit. It is the only fish in the tank i see picking at the little cories. I have never once seen the RTBS chase or attack them, only the krib.

Is there anything i can do? do you think it is the krib?

When Kribs are in the mood as it were they get very territorial. My Kribs chase everything in the tank when the mood takes them. Just make sure they have target fish to chase, mine dont really bother the Cory unless they stray into the nesting area.

It could be a possibility considering kribs live at the bottom - middle and corys live at bottom...

My male Kribs sleeps with the clown loaches in a cave, they dont seems to bother the with the bottom dwellers

I have a pair of Kribs with 6 cories and whilst the Kribs get defensive of their own patch from time to time, if they are in the mood, thats as far as it goes. It the cories move away they won't pursue them. Its not just cories they will go for, it will be any fish in their eyeline in their terrority.
I don't think you will find Kribs are killing cories.
