Pelvicachromis pulcher
Auction is for 4 unsexed juvenile Kribensis cichlids.
These are well started juveniles that are active, feeding well, and established. Kribensis are colorful, hardy West African dwarf cichlids known for their personality, relatively manageable size, and interesting breeding behavior.
Scientific Name: Pelvicachromis pulcher
Common Name: Kribensis Cichlid, Krib, Rainbow Krib
Quantity: 4 juveniles
Sex: Unsexed
Adult Size: Approximately 3 to 4 inches
Temperament: Peaceful to semi aggressive
Care Level: Easy to moderate
Diet: Omnivore
Temperature: 72 to 80°F
pH: Approximately 6.0 to 8.0
The fish offered are well started juveniles rather than tiny fry. At this stage they are actively feeding, growing well, and beginning to develop the body shape and coloration associated with mature Kribensis.
Juveniles may be kept together while young, but territorial behavior can increase as they mature and begin establishing territories or forming pairs.
Kribensis do well in planted aquariums with plenty of structure and hiding places. Caves, driftwood, rocks, terracotta pots, and dense plants can help create territories and reduce aggression.
A larger aquarium is recommended for a group of four as they mature.
Kribensis are omnivores and readily accept a varied diet including:
• Quality pellets or flakes
• Brine shrimp
• Daphnia
• Bloodworms
• Other appropriately sized live or frozen foods
A varied diet supports healthy growth, coloration, and overall condition.
Kribensis are cave spawning cichlids known for strong parental care. As these juveniles mature, males and females may naturally pair within the group.
Because these fish are being sold as unsexed juveniles, sex ratio and future pairing are not guaranteed.
This auction is for 4 unsexed juvenile Pelvicachromis pulcher.
Fish are living animals, so natural differences in size, coloration, pattern, fin development, and maturity should be expected. Juvenile coloration will continue developing as the fish grows.

When a shipment qualifies for the Live Arrival Guarantee, any Dead-on Arrival claim must be reported within 2 hours of the carrier's recorded delivery time.

Approved claims cover the purchase price of the affected livestock only. Original shipping charges, packaging fees, and shipping upgrades are nonrefundable.
Weather and Package Holds
During extreme heat or cold, I may recommend or require that a shipment be held at an appropriate carrier pickup location when available.

Free Shipping and Promotional Shipping
Some listings or promotions may include free or discounted shipping. If a refund is required on an order that includes free shipping, the actual shipping and packaging costs may be deducted from the refund when applicable.
Auction and Marketplace Orders
Shipping prices and services offered through eBay, Whatnot, auction websites, or other marketplaces may differ from those available directly through LOMWILD.com because of individual marketplace shipping requirements.
My Commitment
LOMWILD is a small, hands-on operation. Livestock is either raised and cared for here or responsibly sourced and properly acclimated before being offered.
Every animal is evaluated before shipping and packed with care. Because these are living organisms, natural differences in size, color, markings, and behavior should be expected.
This shipping policy serves as a general guideline and may be updated as carrier pricing, services, weather conditions, and shipping requirements change. I reserve the right to select or modify the carrier or shipping method when necessary to protect the health and safety of livestock.
