  • Who has what tropheus?

    I was looking at buy 20 or so at the end of summer/early fall depending on if i can put a set up together for a decent price. I had a few species that I would like to find and though a place for people to post what they had would be nice. If there is already a list please let me know so i can go to it. I was looking for Moorii Kalambo (Gold Fleck), Moorii Morilo (Firecracker), and Moorii Lufubu (Purple Rainbow).

        I'll have 24 or so T. sp. Red Moliro fry ready next week at $5 each. Here's some photos of some of the adults of my breeding colony:

                Depends on male to female ratio, water parameters (pretty much most important), how often your fish decide to get busy, if you strip eggs and use tumbler or let them spit. Egg method gives a shorter recovery time for the females. Size of the colony matters so aggression won't hinder breeding and fish don't kill others off. But then again, you never know. It's science. Nothing is guaranteed

                  Depends on the colony.

                  Some, almost never, others, every other week.

                      I've got it under control now, I've added a giraffe cat, Datnoid and the MBU and it seems to be doing the trick.

                      I've noticed less roselines going missing now so it has to be working, then again I did another a few 100% water changes this past week and have 4-5 large mouthfuls.

                      Hopefully the turtle helps the cause.

                              But not everybody wants to do 90-100% water changes every week.
