Good choice. Just keep an eye on the light and it'll do great.

Monte Carlo is my go-to. It's chill and doesn't need crazy light. Just trim it now and then to keep it thick.

If your tank's not at least 4ft wide, I'd say rehome the extra female - anything less and you're asking for trouble. Honestly, I wouldn't even risk it in a 4ft tank.

Kribs become super territorial at breeding time, taking over the bottom area of your tank and chasing off any other fish that comes ...

Krib pairs can take a while to get it right, had pairs that took 2 or 3 attempts before eggs hatched, so don't lose hope just yet, good luck with them.

Seeing that tank makes me regret not going with a Cichlid setup, I can only imagine how awesome it would've been.

I've been in your shoes before, Jamie. She's defending her territory, that's why she's turned on him. I'm guessing your tank's not the biggest, given he's stuck hiding at the top.

I'd take her out, give the tank a bit of a rearrange, and then put her back in after a day or two. That might calm her ...

Sounds like things might be kicking off with your kribs. I'm guessing they've got a cozy spot to call their own - I think I see a plant pot in your signature pic, is that a cave in the making?

Are you talking about them putting on a display for each other? That can go on for a bit and you might not see any eggs right away, even if they do mate. It's pretty cool to watch, though.

Anubias are pretty versatile, they can thrive in a fully submerged environment or in a marshy setup. They're not exactly speed demons when it comes to growth, but they're tough as nails and super easy to care for, which is why they're a great choice for beginners. Plus, they're a breeze to propagate ...

Another thing to consider is adding more plants and cover - if the male can't see the other fish, he's less likely to chase them. The visibility issue might be a contributing factor to his behaviour. I also have some reservations about keeping Kribs and Angels together, it's possible this is ...
