Keeping dwarf crayfish with kribs

Hi, I'm wondering if dwarf crayfish can coexist with kribs in a 29-gallon tank that's heavily aquascaped.

I've always been skeptical about combining crayfish and fish, to be honest. The old adage 'claws and fins don't mix' is rooted in experience and I think it's wise to heed that warning.

I've had a pretty good experience with it in my 75, been running for about 8 months now. I've got 65 nano fish, 12 dwarf crayfish, and 14 nerites all swimming together, no issues. But I'm not so sure about the Kribs, I think they might see the crayfish as a snack.

I think you're underestimating the crayfish, they can hold their own. I wouldn't recommend keeping them together, but the crayfish wouldn't be on the menu for the kribs.
