I dunno about that.
I'd imagine enough people would have tried that mix, but I've never personally seen it. In the very least, over the long term, I would expect kribs would probably prevent Apistos from holding territory and thus being able to spawn successfully.
I've kept rams and at least a couple different types of apistos in the past. Never mixed them for any length of time with other cichlids because there really not capable of defending themselves against much. Kribs are quite the opposite. Kept them with anything and everything in cichlid grow up tanks, and are generally quite capable against any thing of similar size (and sometimes against larger).
If i were to set up a tank and mix kribs with CA/SA, I would mix them with something larger, and a little tougher. Maybe angelfish or blue acaras or rainbow cichlids. These are all fish i would have mixed with kribs at one time or another . As far as dwarf SA, i would suppose a dwarf pike or dwarf Acara would possibly be a better match (?).
Thanks BC. Good points.

I've had great results with Australian Rainbowfish eating well, they accepted flake, NLS pellet up to 1mm, Repashy gel mixes, blackworms and pretty much anything I tried.
I do NOT know if they will do well with your fish as I have no personal experience with them.

Which fish are trouble worthy in my stocking list (that wouldn’t work with rainbows, i wouldn’t mind them eating shrimp because i would add the rainbows after the shrimp grow significantly in population size!j
