If you ae refering to the Lake Victorian type cichlid 'Rock Kribensis', it is not in the genus Pelvicachromis liek the kribs we are talking about in this forum. The 'Rock Kribensis' is a beautiful fish that qualifies as a dwarf in my opinion. The names on Victorian cichlids have changed so much and so rapidly that I would not venture a guess at its real name at the moment.

Paralabidochromis sp. rock kribensis is the current nomenclature.

That's it.. I definitely would have butchered the name. I kept that fish several years ago. They are no as aggressive as some of the similar types.. IMO... very prolific though.
