I just purchased a rainbow krib, also known as a Pelvicachromis pulcher. Just wondering if anyone else has ever had one, and could help me with feeding ideas. So far all I have gotten it to eat is ghost shrimp, any ideas?

I have a pair of P. Pulcher Kribs right now, they accept almost any food I offer. I feed Wardley Spectramax for the dry, and for frozen i use spirulina brine shrimp, Bloodworms, and occasionally a Formula 2 cube for the plecos but the kribs are known to pick at it.

Kribs generally eat anything. I bred them for years. Mine liked bloodworms, spiralina, brine shrim ect. they generally are not picky, and love those blood worms around breeding time!

I have 2 kribs and they eat flake,,pellets,,,and an occasional treat of blood worms,,,,,they really should eat just about all types of food.
