Awaiting my finishing my 125 gal (which has been set up for 2 years but is being "refurnished", I have in my 20 gal long (planted)..4 young 2" Pearl Gouramies, 3 small Cories (2 Elegans, one?)..and am getting a young(2" each) pair of Kribs. The kribs are in a community (20g short) tank at LFS with Gouramies,some bottom feeders I think..and other kribs. They don't like the other kribs but don't care about any of the other fish (except for a little baby Red Jewel Cichlid). I am making them a nice rock cave out of river rock(polished) and have some nice driftwood and large rock in the 20 gal long. They will only be in here with the rest of the fish while I am getting my 125 gal ready..then either they will go in it ..or most likely my Pearl Gouramies will go in the big tank and I'll leave the Kribs in the 20 gal and ad some Ottos.
Any foreseen probs with this temporary setup?

a pari of krib can live in a 20G comfortably by them selves
if you really insist of getting them, i really think you should wait for a while

i have 2 kribs in my 15 gallon with 5 guppies right now and everything is fine

As long as the kribs aren't breeding and it's temporary you'll be OK.

2 kribs and guppies is bad news for the guppies once they start breeding.

Not doing guppies. Not in this tank anyway. They will be breeding soon..er whenever they are ready I guess? The pair is already claiming a hollow log in the tank at LFS. Would just be them , the 3 cories, and the 4 young Pearls. Should have big tank ready in a week or 2..then the Pearl Gouramies will be moving out.

mine bred in my 15 with some corries, they did not beat them up per say but harrased them all the time, non stop so i had to move them. they chased them even when they were all huddled in the corner not moving.
