kribensis tankmates

[tolly1]

I have a 75 gal. tank with two kribensis. i was wondering what would be good algae eaters for them? I have several tiger barbs and golden wonder killies with them, could i eventually put a red tail black shark with them? thanks for any help.

my favorite algae eaters are the Otocinclus. have never had a problem with them. they stay small so you might run into problems if you get bigger fish. the ones you have listed they should be fine with.

as long as the Krib are at least the same size as the shark you should be fine. more likely than not they will be since they are relatively the same sized fish. they should also grow at about the same rate. sharks are know to be bullies when they get big, but this is really only with fish that are smaller than they are.

HTH,
