They look like a normal pair to me, just with nicer colors. A color morph perhaps?

A color morph perhaps? the normal krib (Pelvicachromis pulcher) has a different, tail shape normal kribensis:  Pelvicachromis taeniatus:  there are many colour morphs of P. taeniatus i think 3 of them to be exact although not 100% sure |

thanks for that, rare? i never thought that, maidenhead aquatics near me always have a breeding pair up for sale
 o and one more thing...... are these type of kribensis harder to breed or same as the common kribs? |

Wait those arent a dehane! Sorry, about the mis-adenitifcation!!!!!! It look's like a Pelvachromis "Kienke" red: http://milan.ullman.com/kienke.jpg
There are so many types out there, i get confuesd. Here is a dehane: http://www.aquariumhobbyist.com/wacichlids...es/dehanesm.jpg Dehanes are probably the hardist to find krib out there. But Kienke's are just as hard. They are easy to breed, just like regualr krib's. Krib |
