  • Tropheus Resiliency

    Here's a little story of how my T's made it through Gustav.

    2 full days without power, no filter, no air, no water changes, tons of leaves fallen in the pond

    I finally brought a generator back from Houston , then I plugged the pumps in for 2 hours, then turned them off to save gas. We then powered all the freezers and window ac units for the night.

    This went on for about 4 days til we finally got power last Wednesday night.

    Everything looks great, they couldn't be happier. Maybe this will prove that T's are hardier than most people think. I was one of them. No telling how many I have gone through in my time. As long as you provide enough space for them and provide sufficient food, they will thrive.

    I hope my colony will survive like yours....I'm currently at my mom's house (which has electricity) but my house has lost power (where my fish are)...

      They will be ok as long as it doesn't get too hot. The heat will deplete the oxygen

      Good luck
