Aquarium Advice Apprentice
So I had planned on getting a Krib for my 29g tank that currently has 6 Tiger Barbs and 6 zebra danios since the bottom of my tank is a bit lonely. Now im a bit new to aquariums so I wanted to come here and get some advice before I go out and get the krib.
I would really like to get a krib for this tank, they seem very interesting, but I dont want to force it. My backup plan is to get a bunch of cory catfish for the bottom but I might be running into my tanks capacity with those guys.
- I want to make sure mixing a krib with tiger barbs wont open a war in my tank. The tiger barbs mostly like to swim/school at the top and middle and usually stay away from the bottom. The zebra danios are almost always at the top and are just so fast so im not too worried about them.
- I will be adding more decorations/hiding places/plants to the tank to give the krib additional hiding space. With this will I be able to "coerce" the krib into a specific territory by setting it up a certain way or will he just pick out whereever he wants? I would be completely rearranging the tank before I add in a Krib (heard this would help with territories), since its a little empty right now but I have mopani wood, rocks, and a flower pot ready to be added to the tank.
- Finally I have heard at one point Kribs like sand because its easy to move around in their territory. Is this true and would I be able to set up say the left portion of a tank with sand (away from filter) and the right portion with gravel (side with filter)
