care and feeding of the red kribensis

Post by mikewoods »

I've been on the hunt for super red kribensis for over a year now, but they seem impossible to find. I regularly check aquabid, ebay, and a few other fish auction sites, but no luck so far. Does anyone have a lead on where I can buy these? I did find some in the UK and a couple of other overseas places, but they're not interested in shipping internationally - I'm guessing it's because of the high mortality rate and customs issues.

Thanks so much for any info you can share!

You might want to try reaching out to Peter Clarke on this forum, he may be able to help you source the super red kribensis you're looking for. He's currently selling some beautiful pelvicachromis in the classifieds, I came across his post recently. The username is something with Peter Clarke in it, just check the livestock classifieds and you should be able to find it.

He's got a pair of Super Reds available at the moment, but being UK-based doesn't exactly help you, does it?

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Thanks so much for the tip, I'll definitely look into that and see if he has any US connections.

Unfortunatly, shipping abroad isn't an option for me, but I do have a batch of Super Reds coming up for sale soon, so I'll be listing them in the classifieds - might be worth keeping an eye out for those.

"hi, just wondering if you've got a price in mind for the super reds and if they'll be available to forum members, cheers"

hi, just to give you an idea, the super reds are still young fry, just at the stage of leaving the parents, and I'm letting them go at 2 for £1, I can post them but it'll be at the buyer's risk, if you're interested, just let me know
