Who Gives A Fish Forums

thinking of adding a Krib to my 65 gallon, would it be okay with my current stock, listed in my signature in blue?

I'd be cautious about adding a Krib to your tank. The mosquito fish being neptunes, they might get nipped at by the Krib, or even worse, killed. The angel might also be a target for the Krib's aggression.

20 gallon tank might be a possibility for the krib, but it's worth noting I'll be moving the mosquito fish there soon too. Two of them are pregnant, so I'd rather not stress them out right now.

A single male krib in a 65 gallon would be fine, I find them more laid back. The angels, GBR, and kribs may have some initial dominance issues as they're cichlids, but they'll likely settle down. I'd suggest increasing the Red Eye Tetra number to 6+ for a more stable school. A breeding pair of kribs, however, is a different story - they'll fight a lot, and that's almost a guarantee.

Thanks for the advice, I actually had 5 Red Eye Tetras initially, but unfortunately they didn't make it - I guess my dad picked a bad batch from Petsmart. Planning to get 4 or 5 more next week to bring the school back up to a decent size.
