Hey, check out the African cichlids forum and there is a pinned topic at the top.

They are west african river fish so the African Cichlid part of the forum would certainly be a better spot to get those tips. I never had any trouble inducing kribs to breed but have not been very successful raising the fry big enough to live on their own. I seem to always lose them so I must be doing something wrong.

Warm water around 25/27
Weekly Water changes (mid week aswell would be better if you have time)
Food: live foods although I've found they do quite well with frozen bloodworm

I've found that the pH doesn't matter as much for inducing breeding however raising they fry is a bit of a chore.

I originally moved my fry to a large ice cream bucket and got an other heater for it, I found a warmer temperature made them grow quicker but I ended up with a lot dead. So I turned the temperature down slightly robaround 24 and they thrived. As for pH with these guys though I had mine around neutral ( spent a lit on RO water)

Good luck
