Kribs with GBRs?

[cinnastix911]

Hello! I have decided to use my 55 gal as more a dwarf cichlid variety and I wanted to start fairly easy, kribs, but I also was hoping on fitting some GBRs in. So I was wondering if they are compatible and if so, what m/f ratios would work with them?

The tank has quite a bit of driftwood and slate with 2 definite cave areas but lots of potential for more depending on how picky the individuals happen to be. There are also some plants- mostly anubias and they were inexpensive so if they are destroyed I wouldn't be heart wrenched. The tank currently holds 4 kuhli loaches and soon some 3/4 in. BN plecos.

Thank you!

You will be best with pairs of GBR's and Kribs. I wouldn't put more than 4 GBR's and 4 Kribs in that tank since you are loading up the bottom of the tank with loaches and BN plecos. I wouldn't put more than 2 BN plecos in that tank. Might want to consider adding fish that swim in other levels of the tank to round it out.

I wasn't planning on keeping them all. Growing them out to a decent size and then selling them off to the LFS. What would be compatible top dwellers that aren't especially bland?
