Well when my heater broke i lost 7 black neons, a paradise fish, and a blue ram. In my tank I now have:
1 paradise fish
1 black neon
2 neon raibowfish
4-6 corydoras habrosus (i am not 100% sure...)

I think i have more room. I am not sure if i want to add more black neons but i know that it is an option. If i do not do that i will give the lone neon back to the lfs to make him happier.

I was thinking that since i am getting a pair of kribensis soon and their tank is not 100% cycled, could i put them in the above tank?

After i get rid of the kirbensis and put them in their own tank, what other fish should i add?

It's a 20H, sorry i always forget the easy stuff...

u forgot tank size

and i remember the post... but am too lazy to go find it and check fr myself

Tank size please..........
I would first add more Neons, as they are schooling fish, or take it back to your LFS.
Kribensis are great, but if they breed, they will chase every other fish away. IMO it's better to have them in another tank & try to breed them.

*clicks on profile*...it's a 20g tall

I'd just bring the schools of cories up to 6-8 each, get a few more cories, and maybe get another ram...

Do NOT put a pair of kribs in there...they'll kill everything

Have fun

They WILL. Kribensis breed with incredible ease -- and after they do so, they will quickly exterminate every other fish in the tank in order to protect their precious darlings. I speak from personal experience.

You have enough cories. Get some more black neons and rainbows.

Since Neons are schooling fish, might as well get more of them. They look cool together anyways.

If you don't want a school of black neons, increase your number of rainbowfish, and perhaps add another ram.
