>>All the tanks are heavily planted, but can I keep either of these new = fish with the kribs, with the killies or are they best off alone.<< I had a single male Fundulopanchax gardneri nigerianus misaj=E9 (GAR) and = a trio of Aplocheilus lineatus (LIN) in the 10 Gallon office tank with a = pair of Kribs. Everything was fine until the Kribs spawned. They killed = the Gar. The LIN were okay but I removed them anyway. I suspect the LIN = were left alone because they are surface fish, far enough away to not be a = perceived threat. The GAR occupied the middle of the water column so he = was too close.
