I am new to this list and maintain mostly West Africans. While at a dealers
a few weeks ago I bought a tank full of "wild kribs". They were mostly P.
taeniatus " Nigerian green".
There were male P. pulcher that match the " yellow krib" pics in Cichlid
News issue Jan '92 on page #31. If these are what you have , I will gladly
ship them to you for postage costs.
I live near Lexington, KY. I have had fish since 1962 and was very active
in the late 60's and 70's with the Rift lake cichlids. I maintain and
attempt to spawn West Africans and Corydoras .
