Krib question

[Hernandezj11]

Hello all,
So I got a 4 krib fry a while back and it looks like they are all females... Is it necessary to get 4 additional males or could I get away with getting 2. Will the offset of male to female ratio throw a pickle in breeding down the road?

What size tank?

You might separate the best male with a female in a breeding tank. I think 2 males would make sense, so you have a back-up.

standard 55

I think 2 males would be good. You may keep an eye on the "spare" wheel females to ensure they are not harassed by the pairs.

Just for the record, kribs are old world cichlids, they are from west africa.
