Kribensis Cichlids are generally peaceful and can coexist in most community tanks. However, a tank size of at least 3ft is recommended due to their territorial nature, especially during breeding season.
For those looking to breed these dwarf cichlids, a tank of 2ft in length is sufficient for a single pair.
The tank should have a dark substrate and provide plenty of hiding places, such as bogwood, caves, and plants. T

You can find various geographic color variants, including an albino form. Kribensis can be fed flake, micro pellets, small slow-sinking pellets, and frozen foods such as daphnia, brineshrimp, and mosquito larvae. Breeding these fish is fairly simple, as they form monogamous pairs and are "shelter breeders", meaning they will spawn in small caves. Flowerp
