Thanks in advance. the problem with that is there is no solid answer when it comes to stocking cichlids. what works for one person may not work for another. there are too many variables to consider such as tank size, water parameters, tankmates, individual fish personality etc.

RustyBlade Mega Fish Posts: 987 Kudos: 1667 Votes: 391 Registered: 23-Apr-2003	there is no solid answer when it comes to stocking cichlids I couldn't agree more Jason. I have 2 rainbow cichlids and I've never had a problem with them and other fish and that includes rams. My sister also has a couple and they are the same. I've never had kribs so I can't really comment on them but I would guess that you might have problems in a tank any less than a 4ft.
