tropheus

rite so iv been looking on the internet and have found somewere that sells tropheus and some other fish that i wanted, so im thinking of getting some only thing is i dont know witch ones 2 get they sell:
3cm tropheus duboisi £5 about $10 ea
4.5cm f1 tropheus duboisi £7.5 about $15ea
4.5cm f1 tropheus sp.ikola £8.5 about $16 ea
im pretty sure that the duboisi are maswa variety but not 100% sure on that. which fish would you personally get taking in mind id get either 8 3cm fish or 6 4.5cm fish.

another reason and the main reason why im getting these fish from this dealer is because im getting some fossochromis rostratus aswel im getting 6x7cm at £6 about $12ea and then either 6 nimbochromis venustus or 6 crytocara moorii aswel. i cant wait im getting them either this week or next.

also iv just heard from a tropheus owner that tropheus dont send very well is this true?

yer i was also looking into some of my other options and i remembered that id been in contact with a whole saler not that long ago and i said that i mite get some around this time these are the fish that i would get:
syno. multipunctatus TB £4.95 (£3.95 for 10)
cyatho. furcifer £5.95
tropheous duboisie £4.50 or
tropheous moliro £8.50 ( can only get wild m/l size hence price.)
i aslo was talking to someone else that had been keeping ikola for some years and he said to not get them as he started with 11 and now he has 4 because the larger ones would attack and kill the smaller ones, so im thinking either of these 2 ^^^^

sorry or just get both, would those 5 species be ok together in an 8ft just an idea, if i had a couple of big rock piles on the side and then a big open space in the middle to try and cater for both furcifer and tropheus?
