Title: Anyone have experience with ocellated kribensis?
Post by: linuxrulesusa on April 30, 2015, 03:57:49 PM

I've done regular kribensis before (pelvicachromis pulcher) but I'm wondering if anything is different with ocellated kribensis (pelvicachromis subocellatus) as to diet, spawning, general care.  I had my kribensis spawn in normal Michigan water so I'd guess these would be the same since they're tank raised vs. wild caught.

Bruce's down in Brownstown has a batch of 10-15 that are too small to sex, but once they get bigger they look to be quite colorful.

Apparently the parents look like some of the better pics here: http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/pelvicachromis-subocellatus/

Thanks for any insights.
