As some of you know, I'm in the midst of planning a tank to be set up later this summer.
My original stocking plan (see signature for details) was focused around two pairs of German Blue Rams. Given the difficulty that often accompanies finding good stocks of and caring for the Rams, I've also considered a variety of back-up plans, including Bolivian Rams, Keyhole Cichlids, and various Apistos.
But I hadn't considererd Kribensis until recently...
I know Kribs are far from your typical African cichlid on a variety of fronts (in my initial research, I've found they're tolerable of a comparable range of water conditions, fairly hardy, and generally good tank mates except when breeding), but do you think they'd fit in well given the stocking plan below, minus the Rams? Or am I asking for trouble when they do inevitably breed?
I haven't completely decided to go the Kribs route, and I'm going to give myself the opportunity to find some Rams first - but I'm curious about kribs as a contingency plan.
Thanks in advance for the help
