Pelvichromis Kribensis - Males

Post by Ltrepeter2000 »

I need a few of these and was wondering if anyone has them at a LFS or has a few that they would part with. I have quite a few healthy females and would like to breed them.

Thanks
Rob

Rob,

You ought to call Scales. I believe I saw some Kribs there, the last time I was in there. (That was a few week's ago, however, so call to make sure he still has them.) Even if he doesn't, I bet Andrew [the owner] can locate some.

Thanks guys....good to know....I think I will try to get to Super Petz today then....if any of you know the people at PVAS looking to get rid of them then send them my way. Always better to get the fish straight from a fish person.

Thanks

Rob,
so, did you get the Kribs? superPetz has nice looking albino kribs as of 5/2.
very healthy, good condition, too.

I bid on a PVAS auction for a pair of kribs in Feb, but somebody else got them; and began a krib-hunt, and did research etc. and figured they might be too aggressive as parents in a community tank.

looks like e-z to breed, but not, exactly, community tank friendly (per se...whoever invented "per se"? there's even a restaurant in NY called PerSe.

I have not been able to get the males yet. I have 6 females in a community tank thats primarily tetras but I have a 30 gallon tank that I plan on making a krib tank for a pair. I also have a four foot long breeder tank that I plan on setting up as soon as I get my big shelf from Costco.

I will let you know as things develop.
