Can I add an adult male kribensis to my tank with a 3 1/2 month old female krib?
I have a 40 gal breeder community tank and used to have a young pair of kribs. The male randomly died so I am looking to add another male. My fish store only has larger males for sale. The female is about 1 1/2 inches long. My question is do you think the male will terrorize the female or should they get along?

I imagine they should get along just as well as you should expect. They will either bond or not. If i remember my kribs, she should be close to her mature size anyway. Just make sure you have plenty of places for each fish to call home. Maybe rearrange the tank when you add the new male.

It probally wont get eaten by the male if it cant fit inside his mouth but the fish might get bullied a little. If possible i would wait for your female to get a little bigger. If you already have the males, and they are terrorizing the female then you could buy a tanbk divider to divide your tank with to protect the female. Good luck.

you are able to desire to get the female spayed and the male neutered or this might proceed with each and every season. Neutering the male will preclude testicular maximum cancers. Spaying the female will preclude undesirable litters and shop her fit. in case you would be unable to maintain those canines aside, the female gets pregnant and the price of looking after the muddle could be fairly a overwhelming. it incredibly is perplexing to discover to blame residences which you will might desire to do after procuring their vet exams, vaccinations and worming.

Kribs rarely terrorize each other. So long as each has its own hidey hole at the beginning they'll be fine.
