In general if I put a single female Krib in a 30 gallon community tank with guppies, a pearl gourami, about 8 or so albino Corydoras and a bristle nose pleco; it is also a planted tank with some wood forms. What is the most likely level of aggression the krib would have?
Thank you

I've had this tank set up for many months and most of my fish are at adult size. The tank is heavily planted too.
In the end, it the parameters match, the tank size is good, it just depends on your fish's temperament. My rams will only chase fish from their eggs when the fish are literally on top of the eggs. And the chasing last for a second. They never even nip.
Both are planted tanks without CO2 using Tropica Soil Powder. Both Scarlet's currently live in the five gallon pending cohesion between each other. With the two Badis' in the five gallon, we were contemplating moving one of them to the 3 gallon and adding some CPD's to the five gallon. Would that be an acceptable community and how many CPD's would you recommend with the current population in the five gallon?
In my humble opinion, I don't think the Spec III would be an adequate size for a single Dario dario, two stone cats AND some nano fishes such as Phoenix/Chili/Kubotai or Emerald Dwarf Rasboras or the like. However we do want some other nano fish in the three gallon too. What do you think about those additional stocking options? Two more additional nano options are the Ember Tetras and Dwarf Golden Barbs. Unless you can think of anything else to add to that list? I'm really hooked on the CPD's and want to try and house them in one of our tanks.
Lastly, as far as algae clean up crew, will the shrimp be sufficient should the algae start to arise or should I consider some sort of algae eater such as the Otocinclus? Keeping in mind that we do not want to overstock nor do I want to be "borderline" on my stocking limit. I have lived in barracks, dorms, ditches, survival shelters and so on, so I'm not okay with tight quarters if I can help it. Wasn't fun for humans so it certainly can't be fun for fishes either.
Thank you for taking the time to read this novel. (It's what I'm known for on YT - essay like answers by Bert Shackleford). And yes Cory, I am aware that you dislike anything smaller than a ten gallon, however I am meticulous in my hobbies and do not mind stick to strict parameters. It's part of my fastidious nature. Knowledge is my obsession.
Keep up the good work my friends.
EDITED for missing information.

What are your thoughts? I’d appreciate it! Thanks :)
All you can try is frozen food. It is the only thing they might eat aside from live
Can't wait to see this one, I already know that it's going to be awesome!
