Description
Krobia cichlids hail from the river systems of northern South America, including Guyana and the Amazon basin, and grow to around 12–15cm in length. They are handsome, characterful acara-type cichlids with attractive facial markings and a bold but manageable temperament that suits a larger South American community.
Special requirements: Krobia cichlids can be territorial, especially when breeding, so provide a spacious, well-decorated aquarium with driftwood, rockwork and planting to break up lines of sight. They appreciate a soft, sandy substrate to sift through. Keep with robust, similarly sized companions that can hold their own, and allow room for a pair to establish a territory.
Diet: Krobia cichlids are omnivores. At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Krobia EBO Pro soft artemia, mussel sticks and insect meal. We also feed live foods including brine shrimp, blood worm and mysis shrimp.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
