    A few people are trying to breed them at the moment, maybe you can raise some that have left their parents if you have no luck otherwise.

    yes you can but they get agro when they breed but other than that they are great fish... I have a breeding pair in my community tank and I have no problems at all.
    If you are interested I have a few for sale but you would have to courier them down to you.

    My ones bred a few years back but I have sold or given away all of the babies. They can be kept with other small fish, just avoid extremely small fish as I have witnessed them attack small weakened fish. Since Kribs aren't very big themselves, most smaller fish will be fine. What fish are you considering keeping with them?

    Also try not to have other territorial fish with them as they might have some aggression, though not normally too serious. otherwise they are great fish.

    Thanx Gareth, but courier seems like such a mission and think it could be exspensive.

    Still hope someone down here can help me.

    I have Red eye's, Silver tips and Boeseman's rainbowfish

    Those fish should be fine to keep with them, though silver tips can sometimes do some fin nipping.
