Stocking Advice, Please

[Craster]

Sorry for another one of these topics to add to the many, but I would appreciate your comments.

I have a 180l tropical community tank, newly cycled. I plan to have:

5 Zebra Danios
6 Neon Tetras
2 Kribensis (one pair)
3 Guppies (1 male, 2 female)
4 Otos
1 Cameroon Armoured Shrimp

Is this too much? Have I room for more? Will they all get along?

Thanks loads!

The only concern that could eist would be the kribs if they didnt pair up. You have a good sized tank so even if they don't pair up, you should have plenty of room for the two individuals, but you may see an occational border dispute every now and then. Everyone else looks perfectly fine

Thanks. Are fish shops likely to be able to provide a Kribensis that have already paired? Do they tend to know enough to pick out a pair that is already established?

One last question, how sensitive to water quality are the Kribs? I know that the recommendation on the Otos and the Neons is to wait several months before adding them to a tank, but what's the view on the Kribensis?

Thanks.

OK - I lied about one last question. Looking elsewhere it seems that if I add the Kribs before adding any other bottom dwellers, the Kribs may 'claim' the whole bottom of the tank and be very agressive to the otos and the shrimp when I add them. Any truth to that?

Sorry to keep with the questions, but I want to get this right. Thanks for any help.
