Kribs would like a tank with some rock/teracota pot caves, plants and some small pieces of wood. And sand would be nice, but that's more of a personal touch. With 149l tank I would go with 6-8 Kribs because you will want to leave some room for territories and breeding. In terms of the other fish you could put in with it varies a good bit, are you looking for more cichlids or more of a schooling community fish. Kribs are ok in a community set up, actually they may actually be better off in a community tank.

Yeah Kribs would do best if they were the most aggressive fish in the tank. I found in a community tank with schooling/docile fish the kribs aggression only seems to be amongst themselves. When I had two pairs in my 30 gallon I had some zebra and leopard danios and two gold gouramis.
