Starting a tropheus tank

Re: Starting a tropheus tank

I definitely like the two rock piles better than the three. It seems like you are setting up a new tank every month!!! The tank looks great. Congrats on the tropheus. I'm thinking about adding a couple dozen to my tank as well.

Tim, do it!

They are crazy! When I first got them I watched them run around and I got so dizzy I passed out.

Think I'm gonna upgrade my moba tank so I can use it for more tropheus! I've got breeding action going and there's a female holding already!

I'm interested in Golden Kazumba, or Moliro Reds.

Those fish are beautiful!

Re: Starting a tropheus tank

Thanks for the comments.

These are Ilangi's but they are suppose to lose the stripes and have yellow sides. I agree that the juvenile stage of the dubs are cool looking.

rrocket, I don't know anyone close by with GK's but last time I was at fishranch he had a some Moliro's.

Re: Starting a tropheus tank

Thanks, but not nearly enough for a colony.  I've got a line on some if I want them shipped, but would rather find some locally.

Re: Starting a tropheus tank

Did you lose any of them since you got them, or have they all been healthy and happy?

Re: Starting a tropheus tank

So far they have not lived up to their reputation of being the fragile fish that the net makes them to be.

I have not lost any yet and dont plan to, knock on wood.
