:help2:Okay, I was given a 46 gal tank by a friend of mine. Im just learning about the hobby and trying to educate myself as best I can.

This is what she had in her tank that I have now inherited.

8 Kribs
3 Clown Loaches
3 Aldolphi Cory's
1 Large Golden Angel
1 Ghost Knife
1 Hatchet
1 Glass Cat
1 Farlowella (who is going to a new home shortly!)

I know the hatchet and glass are schooling fish i am looking to find them a new home in someone elses tank where they can be with buddies

Anyway, my question is this. I've had the tank nearly 2 weeks now and the Kribs have been fairly docile for the most part and seem to school together however over the past few days I have noted that they are becoming much more agressive towards each other.
I woke this morning to find one stuck between a rock and the driftwood dead (he was wedged in there pretty good) I am thinking maybe his tankmates killed him?

Im sitting here as we speak and theres a huge show down going on. They look beautiful all dark and colourful - its quite the display. 5 of the reamining 7 are very dark and colourful for the most part while there are 2 others that stay quite pale and timid. Im not sure if they are sickly or maybe females.

Pardon my ignorance but as I say Im just getting into the hobby and anyone thats had any experience could shed some light on this would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
