Kribs

[Balance]

have any of you guys kept a pair of kribs that weren't a mating pair?

like 2 female or 2 male?

just curious if the kribs would be more peaceful if you kept only 1 sex....

so nobody keeps kribs?
that would surprise me since they are reportedly easy to keep and VERY easy to breed...

maybe I should post this in the General Discussion?

i have had both regular old kribs, and also the P. taeniatus (sp?) - both of which i kept as pairs, which i understand doesnt help you much.

i have heard that keeping kribs in larger groups can disperse the aggession and make for a nice set-up.

note: referring to kribs as "aggressive" is hard to choke down after keeping a breeding pair of managuense, but i know what you mean...

I know 2 females together is a bad idea. The dominant female will constantly chase the other female. I'm not too sure how 2 males would do. If the tank is big enough I would wager either sex would work. I can't imagine not wanting to keep a pair though, so you can watch them flirt and all that jazz.

i would love to keep a pair, but they get way to aggressive when they are spawning/mating whatever.......

I might just wait till I get yet another tank (damn this obsessive hobby) for the kribs......
