Yes, Keyholes will be great. The Kribs are probably breeding, so then they become very terriorial. I have a male Krib in a tank with 5 Emerald Corys and 4 Spotted Corys, at first he looked like he was going to nip them, now it looks like he is their guardian. Any fish comes near them while he is around, look out!.
I once had him in a tank full of Mollys. No problems there either.

Well they are in a 4 foot tank which is full of caves and hide holes with 1 pleco 3 blue rainbow fish 3 red tail banded rainbow 6 congo tetra 1 pearl gourami 1 gold gourami and 1 silver gourami and to finish the stock i was going to get some corys. They are nipping at every one of the fish it don't seem to matter how big they are. Maybe they just need to settle in a few more days? but if I cant have the corys with them they will have to go because I just love the corys. How about my original stock idea the keyholes are they ok with other fish and most important the corys?

don't get rid of both of them just yet, try keeping the female. I've got a female krib in my tank with tetras, rams, platies and gold barbs. The most she ever does is bluff charge other fish when they get too close to her, or the food she wants, and even then she hasn't nipped a single fin.

I would'nt keep any other bottom dwellers with kribs unless you have a big enough tank.
Once the kribs start to breed they will drive everyting away. If there isn't enough room for the other fish to get out of the kribs way, they will be killed.

What type of fish are they nipping at?
I am getting a pair of Kribs from LFS. They are in with some bottom feeders/Gold Gouramies/other small fish..and more Kribs. They are seriously nesting (protecting a hollow log). BUT they only pester the other Kribs. The rest of the fish don't seem to pose a threat..

I have been watching these 2 little nippers and yes they are nipping just about anyone they can so they will have to go before I get my corys. My mistake I should have read more about them before I got them. I wanted some keyholes really but the shop had none so I went for these guys instead I wish now I had not still that will teach me to check it out first although I did check the keyholes out first I should have been more patient and waited for the keyholes I guess.
