demasoni/moorii compatabilty

If it was me I would not do it. From what I understand tropheus do way better in a species only set up with a large colony. I don't know a whole lot about tropheus moorii, but I do know demasoni. They are nasty little fish I have one and he has a bad attitude. I think the mix would be a headache and just not worth it

I agree with ASH. Im sure someone somewhere has done it but I would say that in a setup like that neither species would prosper and you would have unnecessary casualties.

A serious and expensive gamble.It sure would look awesome but Id put my money on it not working out.Im keeping both,not together,both beautiful fish.I wouldnt put them together but Id eagerly read about someone else doing it.And demand pics!

I don't keep demansoni but I do keep Tropheus with mbuna.
Both species are bullies, the Tropheus take no crap & do fine...

Once the diet is Ok for the Tropheus they don't seem to have problems.
(That is not to say that demansoni will be Ok of course, just my experience)

The Aqualog book on Tropheus mentions that they go well with mbuna once you don't mind mixing fish from the two lakes & get the diet right.
This book is written by a Tropheus expert btw which I am absolutely not..

I wouldnt mix Tropheus with demasoni. I dont like mixing trophs with anything, period. Trohpeus like their room and their social structure is very complex. Tropheus can be kept in the lower pH range that the demasoni would like but they thrive in higher ph water like 8.9 - 9.4. IMO not a good idea.

try trophs.com for tropheus/petro information

if you like both the sp. then go for it!

I only keep trophs and petros. I have kept demasoni in the pass......really don't see the problem if you got tank space and numbers in each sp.

ph is really a non issue. I keep my trophs in 8.2-8.4 and they have no problems growing and breeding.
