Rams And Kribs

[devon_charm]

As tital really. I have a five and a half foot tank with a few community fish and i wanted to add about 4 gold rams, 4 blue rams and 4 Kribs. Would this be ok?

Sorry if this is such a simple, stupid question but trops are a little new to me

what is the current stocking for your tank?

the kribs are a potential problem if they spawn in the tank, so i would really only add 2, especially if there are much more peaceful fish already in the tank.
IME the rams should be ok as you have plenty of room for various territories.

Mainly female betta with some swords a couple of silver sharks and some tetra plus 2 catfish. There are quite alot of plants, rocks and bog wood in there so plenty of places to set up base.

So you suggest adding only 2 Kribs is that with the rams also or are you saying its a bad idea to have kribs AND rams? sorry i feel a bit thick asking

the setup sounds good, i would go with the 8 rams and 2 kribensis, however if the kribs do spawn then you may need to rehome them to a tank of there own

Thank you for "spelling it out" for me lol i do feel such a plank at times but i like to get it right first time so no one suffers. I have a spare 10 gal tank i can move them to on a temporary basis.

Right lets go spend some pennies
