I'm Debra

[deeebra]

Hi! I'm a novice fish keeper trying to learn as much as I can, and so I joined this site. I have a 10g community planted tank with zebra danios, ember tetras and a male/female pair of apistogramma cacatuoides. I'm particularly interested in apistogrammas.

Would krebs be considered a good tank mate?

I had kribs with apisto. The kribs in themselves are really quite amazing esp their parenting skills but i do not recommend them with apsito. They are slightly larger and a bit more fierce. Furthermore a pair of kribs will readily gain up on a single apisto which does not end well. Having said that my nannacara strongly disliked them and was able to readily chase them away. In the end after a couple of rounds of frys i removed the kribs as they created too many issues (as well as too many frys).

Ohh boy. Thanks for the info. I was hoping they would be a good companion. But now I won’t look to join the two types
Thanks again

I have a male Krib with a pair of Macs. and have had no problem, but they are in a 55 long and the Macs have not tried to breed yet.

And you don't have a female krib so they are not a pair.

I have 4 kribs. 3 fairly sized females with red bellies and I believe a much smaller male that the 3 females terrorize... 2 of the 3 female kribs shake in front of each other

Just dropping in to say welcome!

Correct, just the male krib and Macs.
