Question of compatibility?

[Nyk0nn]

Hey all, I would like to add a few Striped Kribensis to my 75 gal community tank?
I was told they would be ok with what I already have in my tank?


1 - Marble Angelfish
3 - Glo fish
3 - Gold Barbs
3 - Colombian Redfin tetra
1 - Albino Bristlenose Pleco
If not, any recommendations? I want something good?

thanks!

You really need to up the number of your schooling fish before adding another species...or rehome some & go a different way...this will not be a pretty compatible tank...3 is not a school...

I’ve had them all for lil over a year and have had no issues.

It's an interesting mix. You can always try it and see, but have a plan ahead of time of what to do if things go badly.

Mixing a SA cichlid like and angel with an African cichlid could be interesting, but maybe a single krib would be more docile..

I keep 6 gold barbs in my unheated 55gal. They stay in a tight group most of the time. I believe they do best in unheated tanks.

My gold barbs are about 2.5 to 3 inch big as well as the angel who is about 4 inches. We originally had two angels but one didn’t make it past the first couple days. Granted it is a modge podge of species.
