In reading the latest copy of Fish Magazine I had my interest piqued by these colorful form of Krib and so I was wondering if anyone had ever maintained these fish before. Looking for some do's and don'ts. I have read over what is available on the Krib. Thanks

An Article I came across that further makes me want to try these little cichlids out.

I had these guys for a short while. They are beautiful fish! You can treat them similar to most apistos, in terms of the types of tanks/fish you keep them with. I had the Pelvicachromis taeniatus "malawi" variety (pictures on thekrib.com article). I got them from an Capital Cichlid Assoc auction. You might consider contacting some folks over there to see if anyone's still breeding them.
