Hi so I have a 60 gal corner bowfront that has rummynose and eventually (hopefully) a pair of breeding pelvicachromis pulcher. I was wondering if I could keep any apistos or other dwarf cichlids with the kribs. It has two coconut caves, and a big rock cave. It also has driftwood and plants.
Thanks

if you're wanting to breed kribs, don't but other dwarf cichlids in the tank
the apisto will get bashed by breeding pulcher

Well, Rummy-nose tetras are not bottom dwellers for the most part. They don't compete with kribs for territory like other cichlids do. Also do a search on Rummy-nose tetras as efficient fry predators. If you're thinking of large Krib broods, you might be disappointed.

I don't care either way, but I prefer the kribs breeding dress and behavior. ideally some will survive. I have shellies that I'm hoping will breed soon.

If I kept say a single female krib with another west african cichlid would her colors be much less vibrant than in her breeding dress? If I kept a single krib would it open up another cichlid that could live?
