EvanDu 2012-03-10, 00:19

when i first time to see a Tropheus pic online, must get them cause them are so bueatiful. And i failed in my first tank (5 Tropheus duboisi gone, 1 alive ) because i didnot do too much research about them and feed them bloodworm. and then i did a lot of research. and now, i am successful to breed Tropheus.

here some pics

Hey Evandu! Your tropheus look Great! So how long did it take you to grow your duboisi? I love how clean your tank is too... What kind of filter are you using? Cant wait until you get some more illangi as friends.

Awesome looking fish and setups.

Those different variants get along okay in the same tank?

That aggressive one looks like it could be a Petrochromis...

aquaman95 2012-03-10, 11:46

You are doing amazing they look great and that water looks like a fx5 is running a 10 gallon wow they llok good Laughing

yea, that's Petrochromis, too aggressive, even tropheus is afraid of him.

and i take out all the tropheus, and put them in another tank, but actually, they only fight with their own species, totally ignore others.

yea, that filter is powerful and the water is always very clear.

thanks

sandnuka 2012-03-10, 19:06

I was reading allot on petrochromis lately.... and that is pretty much what I read, that they are really aggressive towards there own species, but fine with everyone else.... Wonder why your other fish were so scared of him?? You only had that one right??? Did he do something to make the others scared? where did you find him, and do you know what variant he was?? Really gorgeous looking fish.

Apologies for bringing up an older thread but...
New here but long time troph / petro lover.

Great thread and great pics.
You have a really nice tank and trophs.

IMHO Trophs are harder to keep than Petros but man are they sooo charismatic and colorful.
I currently have WC Trophs and Petros- more of the rare variants and not seen in the states much or at all.
My stock are currently in a 200 - 7ft tank with a eshopps wd300 mag24, fx5 and 2 circulation pumps.
They love the flow and filtration.

To EvanDU, I believe that what you had were simochromis.
I had a pair of Isanga red dorsal and man I tell you what, Gangsters is the correct definition.
Honorary bunch as they would push my 6" petros out the way.
But wow I love their mask and dorsal colors.
I gave my pair to friend of mine so that I can have successful breeding with the WC trophs and WC petros I have.

Please keep the great pics and updates coming.
I would add my pics, but I dont own any awesome cameras like you big timers have.

Thanks.

Frankie

Nice to see an out of state person on here, dont get many unless you count Oregon.

Darth Coqui 2012-12-04, 17:09

Thank you.
Here in Houston we have our own fishbox but it is always great to meet others and share great stories with.
Please update this thread.
I love to see others set up.
Sometime soon I will post pics of my setup and babies I have.
I just need to shoot quality pics on a POS camera.
Thanks

Frankie
