Yellow Rock Kribensis

Remarks: Yellow Rock Kribensis are unique in that females are not drab in color - they are bright yellow with black markings! Males will develop red, orange, yellow, and green coloration. They reproduce fairly easily much like other Victorian Haps. Yellow Rock Kribensis are surprisingly peaceful for a Victorian cichlid so they are one of the few that can be kept safely with peacocks. Breeding these fish is incredibly easy as they spawn readily, can be kept in a tank as small as a 40 gallon, and females are known to be great holders, typically holding until the fry have completely absorbed their yolk sacks.
