Striking fish for a peaceful community tank...

I have a 180L set up and I'd go for the Kribensis (as I did in your
position). If they pair off and breed you'll spend far more time in front of
the tank. Whilst they will keep the others away from the fry, they probably
won't actually injure anything. They are just good with threats.

The more I read about Kribensis the more I see what interesting fish
they are.
They have beautiful colours and show the high level parental care
which is so
typical of many cichlids. I'm sure if I kept them and they bred I
would be
absolutely glued to the tank watching them shepherd their young
around. My
difficulty is that I really don't like seeing aggression in a tank
even if
it's more the threatening kind rather than a full blown attack. Maybe
the
answer is to convince my husband to let me set up my 15 Gallon tank in
the living
room where I could keep a pair of Kribs on their own with just some
amano shrimp.
I've got no room for the 15 Gallon in my study - I'm all tanked out!

Thanks!
