ok in community

hey is this cichlid 'kribsines' or something like that ok in a tank with red eye tetras and black widow tetras and corydoras catfish, its like the tetras would act as dither fish if kribsines was a bit shy yea., i heard this is a friendly cichlid.

I've haven't owned any myself , But I would think it to be ok. Most dwarf Cichlids do fine in most community set-ups in my expirience

Kribs will be good, except they maybe a little aggressive over a cave or log etc....

if you have a mating pair, they just might kill the other fish they get very Aggressive and very protective of there young.
I had a mating pair and they killed two of my Red Empress's, for a small fish they pack alot of punch..

The thing with kribs is that if they spawn, they can get crazy aggressive when the brood is in danger. This does vary from pair to pair, but I've had kribs kill cories. I'd say they're good community fish, as long as the other inhabitants know not to bug the fry when the parents spawn.

I find that they're almost like the African version of a convict...

that it is intresting as in another tank i have firemouth with clown loaches and snails, i'd say firemouths are good as gold but can be a bit pokey at times but mostly keeping agression to them self and chase and jaw lock dueling but never to other tank mates yea.
