About

The Albino Kribensis is a captive-bred morph of Pelvicachromis pulcher with pale, creamy-white body colouration and pink-red eyes, while the female retains the signature vivid belly colouration. Their care requirements are identical to the wild-type form, making them equally suitable for beginners.

Care Guide

Water: 24–26°C, pH 6.0–7.5, soft to medium hardness. Tank: Minimum 80L; caves and plant cover are essential for breeding success. Feeding: Quality flake, micro pellets, frozen brine shrimp, bloodworm, and daphnia. Behaviour: Docile in community settings; pairs become defensive towards tankmates when spawning. Compatibility: Pairs well with peaceful tetras, rasboras, and bottom-dwellers.
