Hey all. So my newest additions are doing fairly good.
I decided i wanted to risk some "community cichlids" a.k.a Kribensis a.k.a Pelvicachromis pulcher. I have to say as skeptical as i was so far its going great. They are friendly with their tankmates and ot will be interesting to see if this continues through breeding. I set up a nice little cave in one corner or the tank to gjve them their space, and aĺl their tabkmates are fairy heigh dwelling so it should be good.....
In any case heres some pics of my little couple. Let me know who else has tried, had luck with, or advice for keeping my kribs happy and healthy....

Kribs are really nice cichlids, but they are cichlids, and they can be territorial & nasty to each other and other tankmates as they mature sexually. A key I've found is tank space. I have a group in a 125g that are less aggressive than the pair I have in a 33g.
