Which Trophs to get?

[black_knight]

Undecided on trophs to get. I want to get T. duboisi karilani, but I'm thinking about throwing in a second species or perhaps petros.

Will you be buying WC or F1 ? The Trophs Dub. Karilani are going to be hard to come by around Houston . I only know of one person who has a breeding group of these . That person is MIA . I suggest that you check out YouTube and Google different variants and see what you like . Once you find one that you like.....then post a Want Ad here and see if someone has any fry available. If no one here has what you like....then you may have to order them from an Importer .

Wouldn't do petros in a 75g imo

Btw......I noticed that the pole stated Ilangi (rainbow) . You are aware that the Ilangi and Red Rainbow are two different Trophs ?

[black_knight]

I know it's hard to find. I'm trying to see if Alex at Ultimate can get some in for me. He's gotten me some several years ago when I was into trophs. As far as the petros. I'm using the tank as a grow out tank. Eventually looking at 150-200 gallon range.

Mistake. I really mean ilangi. Will correct

[black_knight]

Unable to correct poll. But it should just be Ilangi. I was comparing the two when I posted.

[eklikewhoa]

I favor Ilangi's due to them being my first true colony but always loved the look of bulus.

I wouldn't mix any though, IMO I would just get a larger group of one.

[barberking12]

get whatever you like its going to be in your tank

[fshfrk]

I like all those Trophs and then a lot more. No petro/trews for me though. They are duds IMO. Why not just buy some F1 fry from a local breeder and grow them out in the 75. 200 gal sounds like a good choice. Good luck.

[black_knight]

My problem is I like them ALL. I just have time to care for one tank. Also my wife is only gonna let me have one tank.

[black_knight]

Well I just did it. I ordered 15 P. trews. 1-2inch size. Should get them about the end of next week. I just couldnt get over that nice one that Alex at Ultimate Fish had for 10-12 years. Gonna grow them out. Next year I'll replace the 75 with a 150 or 200 (whatever will fit). I'm thinking of growing out some ilangi with them (Yellows contrast well with the dark browns).

Couldn't find anyone that could really say their dubs were from karalilani. Closest I got was white bands unknown origin. so went with petros.

Man, you should think about getting a few more. I had 15 Trews that I was growing out and around the time they hit 2" - 2.5" their hormones kicked in and I was left with 7 before I knew it. Only way I could stop it there was by adding about 30 other petros about the same size. After that phase, they chilled out some. My advise is to have more fish in there with them, equal size or larger. Seen it happen with my Longolas and Red Eye Ikolas as well.
