Re: Kribensis and Eunotus



I've tried Kribs with both Nijsenni and Steindachneri but both times the kribs were simply too rumbustuous and the others ended up cowering in a corner. I think for this to succeed you'd need a much bigger tank. My lfs has a 500 litre (80gallon) tank with Kribs and Nannacara Taenia. In that both groups of DCs breed regular as clockwork.
