Can you name some colorful tropheus?

Do you mean ones that have many colors like rainbows or have only a couple of contrasting colors?

Personally:

1) ilangi
2) red rainbow (any collection point)
3) yellow rainbow (any collection point)
4) moops aka pineapples
5) moori namansi

In general, the most colorful ones are collected from Zambia. I would stay away from blue rainbow and lafubus.

Their pictures don't really capture how they look in real life with the exception of the "true" lufubus.

Take it however you want. I guess . . . what would a new person (to trophs) like more?

I like ikolas and dubs there yellow stands out

[SunnyHouTX]

I like the yellow rainbows (Malasa, Kala island, etc), yellows (Nkonde), the brighter brichardi (Ujiji, Bulombora, etc.), some sp. Black (Ikola, Bemba, Bulu Point), sp. Red (Lunangwa South, Moliro), and the list goes on...

Also keep in mind that lighting plays a huge role in perceived colorful-ness.

True , and so does the tank background color and rocks in the tank as well. Dark color fish in a dark tank are going to apear light they have no colors

I love my nkonde i believe there is no other troph as colorful and so consistent in a colony. Bright yellow is indeed bright yellow

[mistahoo]

Ilangi are my favorites then moops after that.
