Looking to buy my first batch of Tropheus

[Tanknoob]

What group of tropheus should I go with ?

[eklikewhoa]

The most expensive one and one that not everyone has.

[Tanknoob]

Ha... Not everyone is rich like you EK ! Do you happen to know anyone with fry's or anyone whos looking to part from their current colony ?

[eklikewhoa]

why ask then?

Tropheus are tropheus it's like different flavors of kool-aid, there's a slight difference in taste but it's still sugar water.

[eklikewhoa]

From what I have seen in the "Tropheus game" you buy baller variants and you end up sticking with them longer, you buy common ones you get burnt out and lose interest sooner.

[Tanknoob]

Ah alright thanks for the tips.

[eklikewhoa]

plus it makes selling them later a lot easier.

[Tanknoob]

Now all i have to do is find some ha...

[eklikewhoa]

everyone and their momma has some.

[Tanknoob]

I wanna get around 10+ full grown or alot of 2 inch frys.

[eklikewhoa]

You want a lot regardless


10 adults might make for a short venture in the troph world.

[Tanknoob]

whats a good number like 20 ?

[eklikewhoa]

for adults I would go for at least that many if not more.

I see so many new tropheus keepers just burn out cause their colony takes their own lives one by one.

[Tanknoob]

Dang people really get burned out that fast with theses guys ?

[eklikewhoa]

if they kill themselves one by one and you pay upwards of 20-30 each fish... you'd get burned out watching fish die too.

Do your research and you'll be fine though.
