I recently purchased what I thought was a male and female pair of Kribensis from my LFS and put them into a 10 gallon tank that i already had along with 6 neon tetras. I knew it was risky putting the Kribs in with the neons, but after like 2 days, I noticed that the definite female was severely harassing the other Krib and has killed and/or eaten 4 of the neons as of today. I immediately separated the Kribs because by the time I really took notice, a lot of the fins had been nipped off the Krib in question. I luckily had a another tank to temporarily put it in, but it can’t stay there because this is a tank I had set up as I awaited a male betta I had ordered online. In the meantime, I went out and purchased a 20 gal long and am in the process of setting that up as I type this... Long story short, my male betta came today so I had to put the other Krib back in the 10 gallon, and was hoping maybe they would chill for just a minute while I get this 20 long set up (I know silly thinking). They definitely did not. Female krib is being extremely aggressive and the other krib looks so scared, pitiful, and has like absolutely ZERO color. I really don’t have another tank to put it in and I’m super questioning if these are actually 2 females instead of a male and female. Any advice would be much appreciated!
