    haven't got any yet but I'd love to get a breeding pair.
    Here are my questions:

    Can you just buy any female and male, and they'll form a partnership? Or do you have to buy like 3 males 3 females and allow them to form their own partnerships?

    Also, when they have formed the partners, and have bred I know they get very aggressive. Which fish would be compatible to get away from them, so they don't take their aggression out on each other. How does this sound:
    - Lemon tetras
    - Bleeding heart tetras
    - Rummy nose tetras

    Which school should I have? It's only one, not all of them Hopefully they'll be in a 29 gallon tank. Which won't eat the fry? I do want to watch the fry grow up and sell them eventually, and I do also plan to have a separate tank for the rest of the fry.

    Thank you :)

    Kribs are not pairing fish. You will need one male with about 3+ females to avoid aggression. If you're interested in breeding them then you will only want to keep them in the tank. Putting tetras in a tank with kribs is a very bad idea.
