Will Kribs Eat Those.....

[ocean_baby]

I want to add 1 krib into my community tank as a center piece, I have 4 pepper cories, 6 guppies, and 6 platies in a 20gal (us) tank. I have couple platies frys and snails about this big I----I, and ghost shrimp and golden apple snail about this big I------------I, will mature kribs eat these?

My kribs have been known to eat ghost shrimp and platy fry, the fry was maybe this big 1-----1

They won't neccessarily eat any of them but they could potentialy stress all of them with their aggression.

one of my zoology prof had some shrimps and frys in her tank with 2 female kribs and they are doing fine, so that's why I'm asking, I thought kribs eat shrimps....

My kribs have been rather peaceful within a community tank, but have gone wild when I put in live food. I'd be concerned for the fry.

Heck, I've saw one of my kribs eat a fully grown male guppy...
