I have one angel and a pair of kribs in my 30g. I've had the kribs for some time now and they are very definitely a non-breeding pair, actually quite peaceful with all the other fish.

Could I add my German rams to this tank without problems?

It depends if your Kribs are a definate non-breeding pair i suppose.

How long have you had your Kribs?

Also they may not be sexual mature yet?

I dont know if i would do it because i would think the kribs would attack the rams because they live at the same level in the tank and they might get annoyed/aggresive because they dont have their own swimming space? (but i dont know how terroritorial kribs are if they are at all.)

If you had numerous hiding places it could work.

Well thats my opinion.

I've had the kribs for just over 7 months, they are each 3-3.5" long.

Ok. They should be sexually mature now so it looks like do have a non-breeding pair like you said.


I would wait for more opinions...

If possible, I'd recommend that you put the Rams in the 30, and move the Kribs to a tank of their own. It wouldn't suprise me if the non-breeding pair decides to raise a family in the future, at which point nearly ALL the inhabitants of your 30 may be harassed or attacked. As the Rams and Kribs fill a similar niche and space in the tank, I wouldn't put them in together. As the Robot would say on "Lost in Space": "Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson!!"
