Randy,
Your Krib experience is not uncommon. I have
found female kribs are notorious for killing their male tankmates. This is
especially true in smaller tanks (like 10 gallons or less). It is better
to put a male in first and this allows him to lure the female to his home or
second best to introduce them at the same time. One trick to simulate that
is to rearrrange the tank when you add the male. Then the female has to
get used to new surroundings. I always watch for fin tears and nips on
males and frequently separate until the female is ready to spawn. I have
had females kill males twice their size. Good luck!
Mike
