I'm pretty familiar with the majority of the tropheus variants, but I've never seen anything like this before. Even though it's a hybrid, I thought it looked kind of cool. Take a peek

Geoff, get me a couple dozen of them, would you?
Seriously, what a gorgeous looking fish.

Re: Stumbled across this...
wonder how big they get. how much they gonna cost a piece. i would like some too but i need some info on them if yall can find it for me.Comment

Re: Stumbled across this...
The norm is about 5" but most will not get that big, they will probably not go for much since there isn't really much of a market for hybrid tropheus....most try to keep the breeds pure as one hybrid released into a breeding frenzy could really put a strain on future genetics.
there are plenty of places to find more info on tropheus.....there is a sub section here, cichlid-forum.com has a library and a sub-forum, tropheusfanatics.invisionzone.com has a good amount of info and people that are willing to help, google will bring up lots of hits/links as well.700g Mini-Monster tankComment

Re: Stumbled across this...
dude that were beautiful fish. i like pure breeds and hybrids. i dont care. i really like beautiful fish like that. those would make a nice center piece of a tank. was i readin right or was someone gonna order some???Comment
-
Re: Stumbled across this...
I doubt they would sell them.....the fish pictured is still a juvenile and like most other tropheus they lose the colors and change.... different strokes for different folks...
Hybrids like parrots, flowerhorns are ok, some are cool
cross breeding tropheus imo isn't really nice.....I would pick a purebreed any day.... but when you say center piece it sounds like you want just one....these are colonial fish going much better in a group of 15 or more which would make them all your center piece.700g Mini-Monster tankComment
