Kribs are pretty easy once you have an established pair. One breeding pair in a 10 gallon would be ok but unless you know where you can get an already established pair you would need to have about 6 juvies and let them pair up...in which case a 10 gallon would definately not work. And in a tank that small you wouldn't want any other fish in there with them since they get very aggressive with their young.
With kribs (as well as some other types of cichlids) you don't have to worry about the parents eating the eggs or fry either.
