Aggrofishkeeper, if you love aggressive fish, trophs may be for you. But you have to realize that it's a different type of aggression. Many New World cichlids are carnivores, and almost all the big ones are hugely territorial. Trophs are aggressive towards each other, but are mostly passive toward other fish. They would never compete with the bigger cichlids. I have to say though, the Chipimbis I used to have would jaw-lock and put on spectacular fights amongst themselves that would make a Jaguar Cichlid proud!

Tropheus are mostly agressive towards each other, but territorial males will chase off anything that tries to invade a territory. They may not always win, but their tenacity usually prevails over larger fish.380G For Sale $3000 Acrylic tank & stand

I offer one discount.
Dos Equis Neon sign gets 20 free fish.
otherwise...
20 fish or less is $8 each.
21 fish or more is $6 each.
All my fry come from wild colonies and sold as F1 except the Rutunga Red Saddles which are mixed F2 and Pondraised. The Duboisi are F1 and Wild mixed Colony. Regardless fry from these two colonies are Tank Raised.
Let me know if interested...380G For Sale $3000 Acrylic tank & stand

Beauty is in the eye of beholder.
I personally believe that Mpulungu is the best most colorful tropheus from Alpha to Omega fish.
I dont really care for most the rainbow types, and shoot for the oddballs and exotics. So its really up to your tastes and what you want.380G For Sale $3000 Acrylic tank & stand
