I certainly would not add a pair of Kribs in that size of a tank. You are correct in that they would compete and would without a doubt win leaving you without your Apistos.

I am keeping two pair of 'Samba' (thanks Jeff). Using the picture from wethumbs as a basis my females are basically identical and my males are actually not quite as colorful as the ones pictured. I will say I find these to be really nice fish, a bit shy at first but after settling in they...
Well it has been a week since receiving my new pair of C. sabinae. They are doing great, eating well and all about the tank exploring. As a side note, the N. parilus in the same order have also settled in nicely.

So as I have never spawned P. signatus before, let alone wild caught, I am a bit curious about recent behavior. The female has emerged from the pot, too soon for any free swimmers. She was going between two pots while the male stood guard, so I thought maybe she was moving possibly wrigglers...
