My ten gallon is essentially opened up for use. I was thinking of trying to breed my kribs. Is that enough space?
The only other fish in there will probably be the sparkling gourami, and I can move him if need be.
 
The smallest size that most sources say to breed kribs is a 20 gallon and preferably larger
a full grown krib will be pushing 4 inches and with the spawning and what not a 10 gallon would seem pretty cramped
 
Definately not with the gourami

you could probably put the kribs in there to spawn-- but I wouldnt have them in there permanately
 
I wouldn't put them in a 10 for spawning. Although they stick close to the cave I would think that having that many fish/fry in a 10 would be a water quality nightmare. Unless you are talking about removing the adults once the fry have hatched. Then maybe you could keep them in a 10 for a few weeks. Just my .02.
