I recently bred some kribs and F1 Pelvicachromis taeniatus - Moliwe



  • I was interested in other Pelvicachromis that do well and breed in hard water?
    What should I try next next - I admit I am spawn and move on person but I do spread the fry around.

If the water is not overly alkaline/high pH, you should be able to keep any of the Pelvicachromis species. Sex ratios in the fry tend to be uneven as pH rises (and drops) out of the 6.8 - 7.2 range. I suggest P. humilis if you have not tried them. Bit more challenging, but a very cool fish to keep and watch.

Hi I didn’t know if you still have any of the Apistogramma Cuipeua?
Would be interested if so.
