	What's a loach or loaches that could go with a Pair of Kribs in a planted tank?

The Brichardi are territorial but they are fine together. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Personaly I can't say I'de advise throwing any other fish in a small tank with any kind of mated cichlid. Of course you could always buy an extra 20 gallon if they ever pair off and just keep them in that if things get ugly.
