Hi Friends !

I'm getting a few pairs of Kribensis tomorrow and just wanted some advice regarding them...

1. Can I keep them with Rope Fishes ? Actually my rope fishes love their caves and I've heard that the kribensis too love their caves and territories. Will they get aggressive and bite of my Rope fishes's fins ? Can I mix them ?

2. Is it ok to keep 3 pairs of kribensis in a community tank, with other fishes like guppies, zebra danios, angels etc ? Will they coexist peacefully ?

Kindly guide me friends...
Thanks and Regards !
Kush

How large is the tank and what are its current inhabitants?
The tank 4 feet long and about 250 liters in capacity...
The current fishes are a few bottom fishes, like corys, rope fish, shrimps, etc...
Angels, Guppies, Mollies etc

Can I put 6 or 7 kribs in the tank ?

they are described as peaceful, relative to cichlids generally. they are still a different kettle of fish to your typical community fish.

It is not a good Idea especially with your Angels. They also have different care requirements than what you currently keep. I am most worried about your angels IMO they will be stressed by the aggressive nature of the kribs.
