-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 20 gallons for a pair of Kribensis Cichlids. They can be kept in smaller tanks, but a larger tank offers more space.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C), a pH level of 6.0-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water.
-
Filtration: Use efficient filtration to ensure excellent water quality and oxygenation. Regular water changes are important to maintain good water conditions.
-
Aquascape: Decorate the tank with rocks, caves, driftwood, and live plants. Kribensis Cichlids appreciate hiding spots and shaded areas.
-
Tank Mates: They are relatively peaceful but can be territorial, especially during breeding. Choose tankmates carefully, and avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.
-
Diet: Kribensis Cichlids are omnivores. Offer a diet of high-quality cichlid pellets, live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and vegetable matter.
