Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi all
So a trip to my lfs today to get some usual bits and pieces turned into an impulse buy of a pair of Kribensis.
I really liked the look of them, havent seen them before. They were over the side of the store near the gouramis, angels, etc, opposite side to all the cichlids, so I didn't realise they were actually cichlids. Before buying I asked the employee questions about compatibility with my current stock, and he said they are fine.
So I got a pair.
After some research when i got home, I see they are cichlids, so I'm starting to wonder if I've made a mistake. As my first ever tank I made the same error and bought a jewel cichlid for my community tank without knowing, who pretty much massacred my tank population.
I'm hoping they were separated from the other cichlids for the reason that they are compatible in a community tank.
So far they seem ok, only aggression has been chasing each other. My Pleco seems to be getting a little p!ssed off with one of them going into his cave.
So what's your opinions do you think I will be ok with these or have I made a mistake?
Tank is 190 ltr corner tank (about 50 us gals).
Current stock
2 koi angels
2 gbr
12 rummy nose tetras
1 bristlenose Pleco
2 Kribensis
Thanks!
