You could put in some rams, clown pleco and some top swimmers like tetras or something. Or you could just leave the kribs and watch their behavior more naturally. I think though, if you still wanted a forty breeder, your best option would be a pair of cons.
By the way, I think demonsurfer was suggesting the fish that would fit not implying to mix them all together.
What else...
Okay I decided to go with Kribensis in A 20 Gallon Long or a Regular 29 Gallon. The Groud Will Be a Mixture Of playsand and Gravel. The Scenery will have rocks and shells. I will have an above ground filter and a heater.
I also want to know what is a compatiable cichlid with a Kribensis
How Auratus DO WITH kRIBS

My Male Kribensis is getting thin whil my one Female is getting chubby is This normal the male is also losin his color and that he has a cloudy eye and that Can I save him some how or is he doomed. He is in a breeder net so he gets direct food. He does not eat, and i can see his spine clearly.
Help Me Quick

Hi again, Im sorry i started that confusion. Scott is right, i just meant that out of the fish that you wanted those are the ones that could fit in there, not the ones that could go togehter in there!
FNM i think what you need to do is decide what fish you are going to focus on and then stick with that. you seem to be set on Krib's because you already have them. Im not sure what you can add to those because I dont have any experience with them but we should focus this on what can go with them in their wwater parameters.
On the other hand if you would rather focus on something else then an entirely diffrent combo of fish can be suggested. For example if you would like a tank for the tanganikan shell dwellers we work with that, or maybe the convicts if you would prefer them.
About your ailing Krib, Im not an expert on the illnesses but from second hand info i would hazard a guess and say your male has a parasite of some kind. Or simply is not eating, I have had a couple of fish just stop eating on me recently and im still not sure why. Maybe the female is bullying him away from the food? If you can see his spine it is probably to late to save him though im afraid. Hopefully someone with more experience can come and tell me im totally wrong

Re: Thats Alot Of advice
1 male with 2 females will do OK(i hope) in either the 20 or 29 gall.
Which means that these are the only fish in your tank.
The same goes for Electric Yellow Lab.(in fact, for all the malawi's).
All in all to my opinion, keeping Malawi's in a 20-gallon (80 lit.) tank is not the greatest idea you can come up with. If you are determined to keep African cichlids from the Rift Lakes but you lack the space (or the money) for anything bigger than that you should spend some time reading first. You can always keep some shell dwellers and create a very impressive (and viable) tank. Keeping an Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) in such a tank is not even aesthetically acceptable. Melanochromis auratus and Melanochromis chipokae; Besides being really aggressive, the M. chipokae gets quite big, too (males may reach 17 cm SL in a tank). All these species are to be avoided or kept in a big tank(120 gall) with suitable tankmates. Adding them in a small community (mbuna or not) tank will create problems.
Does this answer your question??
Johannies are pretty much territorial and just as aggressive towards every other fish in the tank when spawning.
