My Tank Is Ready... I Think.

[LewisUK2008]

This is the first time i will be owning a pair of Kribs and i would like to know if my tank
looks suitable. It is a 20 us gallon and is fully cycled. Please give any advice if anything needs
to be moved or added.
Thanks

Were you planning on having any other fish with them?

Kribs can be quite shy fish when they're on their own so it can be a good idea to have some dither fish - if the kribs see them swimming in the open then they know it is safe and come out too. Something like silvertip tetra works well, but I wouldn't go for neons as IME the neon population starts to decline with kribs in the tank!

Your tank looks really nice! Just another note tho, the caves they like to breed in usually have small openings and both of yours are quite open... Coconut caves are great for kribs, maybe you could hide one under the white stone structure.

Can't wait to see pics with kribs in there
