Description
Kribensis Cichlids, scientifically known as Pelvicachromis pulcher, are small freshwater fish originating from West Africa, particularly Nigeria and Cameroon. They are popular in the aquarium hobby due to their striking colors, manageable size, and relatively peaceful temperament.

Temperature: Kribensis Cichlids thrive in a tropical aquarium environment with water temperatures ranging between 75 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit (24 to 28 degrees Celsius). Maintaining a stable temperature within this range is crucial for their overall health and well-being.
-
Minimum Tank Size: For a pair of Kribensis Cichlids, a tank size of at least 20 gallons (75 liters) is recommended. Providing ample hiding places, live plants, and rocky structures within the tank is essential, as these fish prefer areas with plenty of cover.
Kribensis Cichlids are known for their vibrant coloration, with males displaying more intense hues and longer fins compared to females. They are omnivorous, with a diet that should include high-quality cichlid pellets, supplemented with live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and other small invertebrates.
Aquarists are drawn to Kribensis Cichlids for their manageable size, striking colors, and interesting behavior. Understanding their specific care requirements, including suitable tank conditions, water parameters, and compatible tankmates, is crucial for their overall well-being in a home aquarium.
