Question by kaputt_18: Will Kribensis get too territorial?
I have a 55 gallon tank with a clown pleco, chocolate pleco, two SAE’s, 8 scissortail rasbora, 13 emerald eye killifish, two pearl gouramis, and 6 peppered corydoras. I want to get a krib, but am not sure if they will become overly territorial once they’ve found a space in the tank that is their own? It is well planted with amazon sword, anubias, java fern, and hygrophila, but its not heavily planted. Will the fish like even more plant cover?

I’m not going to comment on the fish, but you’re seriously over stocking that tank. The two pleco’s need at least 20 gallons a piece, and then with the other 31 fish on top of that. Don’t add anymore.

   wow, that’s a full tank as it is..it’s a 55 gal not a 100 :p i wouldn’t suggest anymore, especially with the plants..but i will answer your question, it is doubtful they will become territorial with that many fish in there, but it may be bullied by the large numbers.
