Hey everyone,
So after awhile of only having 3 Nerite snails, a couple of plants, and about 6 cherry shrimp in my 20 gallon. I think its about time I add a little more movement and color to spark things up a bit. I love the idea of having a breeding pair of Kribs in my tank with other community fish but after reading the horror stories online about how territorial a pair of Kribensis with fry get I had a quick change of plans. I have settled on getting one female Kribensis but I'm not to sure on what tankmates to get. I was thinking about 10 either Ember tetras or Harlequin rasbora and for the bottom level about 10 Khuli loaches or 8 Panda cories. I do have one some what major problem. The tap water in my area has a Ph of 8.2 and I'm wondering will this affect my fish because I can go and get some more drift wood and black water extract.
