Re: keeping kribensis cichlids

I think it's not a good idea as the difference between tanks can be fatal for the eggs and they might even eat them due to the change. In my experience, the kribs will just chase your fish away, they won't attack them straight away. Mine are spawning and they're chasing the fish when they get near ...
