starting with a pair of kribs

[Julianna]

When my new 39 gallon tank finally cycles, I will be starting with a pair of kribs I already have. I will be moving them to my new tank and dismantling the old. What can I put in there with them? I'm open to all options. Both community type and all cichlid. Thanks, Julie

I have Serpae Tetras and Zebra Danios in with my Kribs.

Wow, I just love kribs but I have never been able to keep tetras or danios (or gouramis) with any of mine as the kribs started picking them off.

I had my pair of kribs in with dwarf gouramis, 3 spot gouramis, corries, and even glowlights and white cloud mountain minnows. I think it sometimes depends on the temperment of the individual fish. My pair were tank bred and grew up with the other tank inhabitants, so that might account for there completly peacefull nature.

As Roland states, it can make a big difference if they grow up together.
