While the pH is a bit higher than Kribs would find ideal for themselves,
they should be able to adjust to a pH 0f 8.0 just as the Angels did.
With a pair of them though, you may be inviting trouble as far as
interfering with the harmony of the tank, if they decide to spawn. You're lucky in a
way, when none of your Angels decided to spawn, as they wouldn't have been
very kind towards thier tankmates at that time either.
You're probably best with some of the Rainbowfishes -- and while they're
active, they're not exceedingly fast as some other species can be.
One thing with Rainbowfish, if you're considering any -- Most of these
species can vary considerably in coloration, depending on where they originate
from. A population of Melanotaenia trifasciata from one location's river can
look a lot different than a population of the same species found in a
nearby river at another location. This holds true of course, even for
domestically raised (as opposed to wild caught) Rainbowfish, as where they evolved
dictates their genetic make-up. The best looking M. trifasciata, bar none, are
found in the Goyder River, and would be sold as "Melanotaenia trifasciata
Goyder River," by any respectable aquarium shop -- but don't expect PetSmart
to label them as such.
Most Rainbowfishes are quite peaceful, but there are a few exceptions with
some of the most colorful ones being extremely aggressive. So before buying
any, ask here as you might do for many other aquarium issues, to avoid any
problems.
