Thanks. I think I will avoid the firemouths. I like how they look, but I would rather have a few more fish in the tank.Not sure about that combo but IMO better to be safe than sorry, firemouths when breeding unleash their wrath on everyone in the tank...

Yeah, I really like black moors and the calico fantails.I'd say u could fit four and they get so big so it wont seem like such a small stock.... and they have a really long life.
( 10-20 yrs) They are wonderful adorable fish
What gender ratio should kribs be kept in? I know they are not good community fish if they breed. Are there species that could go in a 55 gallon tank? Dithers? Algae eaters? Top swimmer? Or are they best kept in a species only tank?
Thanks. Any top swimming ideas other than congos? Not a fan of them.I think it should just be a pair. Dithers could be some of the bigger tetras like bloodfins, bleeding heart, serpaes, etc. A BN pleco or a small group of SAEs would be very good algae eaters. Some top swimmers IMO should be congo tetras, your tank is big enough and the kribs will definitely not bother them.
I do like purple passion danios. I do not have any experience with any sort of rainbow, but most that I have sen are very pretty. Not a fan of hatchetfish.Hatchetfish? What about purple passion danios? They're cool looking. Or how about some sort of rainbow?

Thanks. Sounds good.Dang that always sucks. I was just about to suggest paradise fish too. I just got mine and I love them! Active little things. And they stay rather small too! Well once you find another tank think about them!
