Purple Kribs? Never heard of them to be truthful. If you mean those purple bellied ones.. they are actually females. Pelvicachromis pulcher is one of the most supplied cichlid in the hobby, funny you should have a problem in getting it. I must say though that the ones available locally are much inbred and are quite drab in coloration. Perhaps its because of this that most LFS fails to carry them as they don't look to attractive.

Never seen purple kribs myself other than the belly area of the females looking purplish. Though I think there are at least 3 colour types I have seen. One is yellow which seems most common. The gill plate and horizontal bar on upper body shows yellow. Then in UK here I've seen blue, which is guaranteed to be aquarium strain colour. Then for both there are some males that have red gill plates. These are shown in the book by Anton Lamboj which people interested in west african cichlids should get I believe. I myself have a small colony of P. pulcher at home in a 4 foot tank with 3 generations inside...initial parents, their fries and then their grandfries :P Only a total of 3 males though so far. Must be my pH.

Sorry for the confusion. I am looking for Pelvicachromis pulcher. But can't seem to find them anywhere. I have been to Xian Leng and Kok Aquarium recently. Not there either.

Go to AI.. they have heaps... but not too nice though.. in terms of coloration that is.
