Male Kribs?

[Fwapp]

Just a quick question, what the smallest tank that you can keep 2/3 male kribs in, without too much aggro?

You simply dont do it. Male Kribs will fight to the death if they are even remotely near each other.

You would need a tank at least 108 Inches of tank length to happily house 3 male kribs allowing them territory each. Even then its more than likely one would become over dominant, grow larger and thus want more territory, so i refer back to my first statement, dont do it.

My above 108 Inches is becuase i wouldnt keep a Male Krib in a tank less than 36Inches long multiplied by 3 Kribs.

Thanks for the reply.

I had a M/F pair of kribs, who bred, leaving me with a load of fry. Unfortuantly, I could'nt deal with the fry, so farmed all but a couple off to the LFS's. Then my female krib died of HITH, although she was in a hospital tank and being treated, it got worse.

This has left me with my male krib (dad) and several male. As I'm getting a 75 gallon long tank, I was hoping to have maybe dad and a couple of his sons.

It looks like dad will stay by himself now though, as I don't want to risk having fry again!
