Adding 2 more fish..... possible???

[jdheff1982]

Hey all! I have a 37 gallon tank with 10 tiger barbs, 5 panda cories, and 2 spotted rafaels. My mom has a 25 gallon tank that has a small pair (m and f) kribs and I want to know If I could incorporate these 2 in my 37 gallon. The filtration I have should be more than enough for an overstocked tank. I use a filstar xp3 and an AC300. Thanks!!

Not kribs. Once they mature and pair up and get territorial, they'll make life hell for the others.

You do have room for a few more fish in there. But not a pair of kribs.

With respect, I disagree, wetman. My kribs do fine in a community tank, and even when they're breeding, they don't go out of their way to attack other fish. They just chase them away if they get too close to the breeding jug or whatever. I'd be more worried about the barbs making things miserable for the kribs ...
