i was wondering if i can have 1 male and 1 female kribs in a 10 gal. there wont be any other fish in the tank.

depends on the actual footprint of the tank, but unless it is a stupid hex or similar
I don't see why not. don't forget to provide a cave for breeding

its a standered AGA 10 gal tank. 20 inches long i belive. right now it holds a goldfish and dojo loach which i will be getting a 29 gal for soon so im thinking of ideas i could in the 10 gal. i like the idea of breedng kribs. will small ceramic pots be good for caves? oh and what decore do they prefer; sand, gravel or does it even matter?

i did a group of 6 juvi kribs in a ten gallon and they grew up in that just fine. very neat lookin tank.

size would be fine, although I have a concern that the black widows will
not be fast enough when chased by the kribs.
My pair of kribs are with five dawn tetras, who are extreamly fast when being "seen off"
and are in a 20 G.
