Krib identification

[DonC]

Hey can anyone tell me what type of krib this is

 

[Ichthys]

Hard to say for certain from that picture but if you acquired it as a ‘kribensis’ it’s presumably P. pulcher.

Pelvicachromis drachenfelsi
Pelvicachromis kribensis
Pelvicachromis pulcher
Pelvicachromis roloffi
Pelvicachromis sacrimontis
Pelvicachromis silviae
Pelvicachromis subocellatus
Pelvicachromis taeniatus

If you want to start working through photos, that is the kribensis/Pelvicachromis group up there. P pulcher, the common krib, is the one we see the most, and because of an old mistake by importers, it's the one called the kribensis (poor old P kribensis had its name stolen).

I have kept all of these fish, and bred all except sacrimontis, and I can't tell you what you have from a shot of the nose like that. I'd need a shot of the flank of the fish, showing the whole body.

How’s this?

I think that's a nice pulcher female - the common krib.

Looks male to me with those pectoral fins… unless it’s gravel. Hard to tell.
