i am going to get a pair of Oblongum and i want to put them in a 50 breeder or bow, i am thinking of adding a pair of kribs and some schooling fish. Would this work?
 
I think so and hope so because I am planning a similar setup. I am getting 5 juvie oblongum (1.5-2" I've been told) in about a week to grow up and pair off but I only want one pair and will sell the other 3. They will be added to a 55 gal with a pair of kribs and a severum that is about 1.75" now. I hope to keep the pair of oblongum with the pair of kribs and the sev all fully grown in that tank. If it doesn't work out I will be keeping the kribs in my 20 gal but I think it will and have been told by quite a few people that it should be a happy community.
 
i am going to get 2 females and a male oblongums then a pair of kribs, then some barbs or something.

No, one of his friends. i would take his pair tho.
 
I have no experience with apistos or kribs. The Oblongum are very gentle and would not hurt a fly, even when breeding.

I have three keyholes, some cories and tetras with mine and all get along.
