Tropheus Ikola from Rene

I guess I should've said he's been in trophs longer than most of us.

That's no lie. I wish I was into fish back then to know what it was like, but working 70 - 80 hrs/wk, it never crossed my mind.

Just because you have more knowledge does not make you the best. the best is measured by successful events while keeping fish. I've been tropheus keeper for 2-3 years and have had more succes then someone keeping for double my time or more.


Nice ikola

Nice ikola

What is success? Breeding? And it's easy to breed wild Tropheus that were acclimated for you by someone else. I've brought in more than a few wild colonies and had the headache of acclimating, treating, and getting them to take processed foods. When you do that then you can claim to have more success than others.

getting fish to eat is not hard. were not talking about rocket science success is breeding and keeping happy healthy fish with out any losses. that's success to me.and ive had alot of that with minimal losses if any at all.

[moganman]

Thanks for the compliment, I've learned even more just in the comments in this thread...

[Ogrodii]

really though j i think you just got some really stubborn fish not all fish are the same.

[moganman]

That ain't the word. But nice Ikola. I saw Rene on Christmas Eve and those ikola were stunning. Trying to convince him to sell me those cherry spots lol.

one week now. all of them recover and eat well now time for them get fat . I feed them four five times a day and here is how they eat like pigs.

[Ogrodii]

aww man nice hand feeding those ikola look good probably my fav troph.

[hungvanvo]

Thank Ogrodii.

[moganman]

Very nice. What food will you use as your staple?

[hungvanvo]

First day they eat all my algae that grown in most 2 weeks . no food second day and third day I gave them a little of Ken's med food some eat and some don't eat. it is scary me but on four days I still feed ken's med and only one still not eat and get skinny. On day five I give the Ken's flake tropheus lover food and all of them jump on the top and tear all the food even the one not eat. now is a week 2 days, they are still Kens flake like crazy and 6 hour full light on per day ( The first 4 day just 1 hour full light and the rest I use moon light) but not like pellet yet.
For me, This is a second WC Tropheus so the step grown algae for them eat for first two day is very important, it will help them little energy to get use to new environment and new food.
