Kribensis tank...

joshua969 · 11-07-2007, 06:45 PM

I'm thinking of moving my pair of kribensis out of my 75 g community tank, and into a 16 gallon bowfront tank that I have laying around. I was planning to just have the pair of kribs in the 16 gallon along with a couple small dither fish such as danio's or rasbora's. Would a 16 gallon be big enough for a pair of kribs ? I also plan on having the tank medium to heavily planted. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Josh

ya 16g should be fine for 2.

if the kribs start to breed then your gunna need to remove the dither fish or they might get harraswd to death

I agree with what Eon said. Tank is not big enough to allow the dithers to escape harassment. Sorry.

That's what I thought, but I figured I would check with people here. Seems like a perfect excuse to buy a new 29 gallon tank.
