Kribensis Tank Mates?

[Cichlidnewbie23]

Currently I have 6 Kribensis fry in a 20 tall, obviously i will move the rest out when a pair has formed. Any suggestions for dithers if any? I know that kribensis are very territorial when breeding, and would like some ideas for dithers if any. Thanks!

Anthing fast and top water will work. I like danios. Platies work too.

You could also try some killies if you have a tight lid. Plenty of tall plants would help too. Have fun!

would white cloud minnows work? i love those little guys theyre really colorful. i normally try to go biotope but this may be my one exception tank. I feel like they may be to slow though. Any opinions on this?

I had neon tetras with my kris but they all died within two days. I got them as either fish but that didn't work out to well. Need something bigger and I can't get my krona to breed! They are a pair in A tank alone but there coloring is dull and they don't do to much. Why? I really would like to breed them...

If you want to stay biotope I would go with Brian and get some killies such as Fundulopanchax or Aphesymion species. the males are stunning and they will also breed regularly.

I use white clouds for dithers in lots of tanks and have never lost one yet. They are fun little fish, do not seem to bother fry and are smart enough to stay out of the way of the bigger fish. I used to like zebra danios, but they tend to nip fins. All my multispinosa lost the threads on the caudal fins.
