Girlfriend wants Trophs, what should I buy her?

[moganman]

Girlfriend gets bored of things sometimes and the demasoni are far from her desire so she wants some trophs. She just bought a 72 bowfront and I'm gonna add some power heads and a wet dry to the 2217. She likes the Moliro and Red Ndole but I don't care for any red species but the Moliro and the Kachese. Looking for ideas on pretty fish that will keep her attention. She says she wants three different types of fish. Maybe a tang bio tope type tank.

These are nice

She's jumping right into trophs? That's a huge jump from looking at trophs to owning them. Just hope they don't get killed off!

Not to hate on the fish, but imo trophs are anything but "pretty".

Probably not, but things happen. You can never know

While a Tropheus is not colorful, the dedicated Tropheus keeper appreciates Tropheus colony behavior, especially when dealing with 50+ fish. The same can't be said about most other fish.

Yup! Just mentioned they aren't too "pretty" or much colorful at that. Despite that, I like looking at them and observing their behaviors, even though I've seen it for years before they were extremely popular.

Reason why she wanted trophs is because of my fish. She loves when I stick an algae wafer in the tank and the fish pretty much eat out of my hand. Thing she doesn't understand is that fish are very moody as far as colors and she sees these photoshopped pictures on the web and thinks she's gonna have a tank full of the website fish. I have polli, canary cheek, and ikola. She doesn't favor any of them.

True. They are indeed moody fish.

Those website fish are nice! And wow, not even the canary cheeks or ikola? I somewhat like them and they are good lookin...

The feeding is pretty cool, but there are other fish that do that as well.

And she says they have cute lips.
