Anyone breeding Tropheus??

[PetsGoRound]

I have a guy that has several for sale that are about 3 inches. Not sure what all kinds of Trophs yet. I will find out next week. I plan on getting several though.

I would love to know how others are set up for breeding them. Tank size, how many in the tank, best foods etc.....

Thank You For Your Help

if you plan on breeding tropheus get as much as you can afford! 10 at the minimum for better odds of breeding! you can put that colony in a 60-75 gallon at the least. bigger the better! tropheus are algae grazers so only feed spirulina or veggie based foods! no meat proteins! they have a very delicate digestive tract and are prone to bloat! trust me, you dont want bloat! then say bye bye tropheus! also the water quality is important! make sure you do your water changes and keep with it! this is a fish you have to take care of and pay attention to very closely! im not relaying some text i read but im talking from experience! so good luck and keep us updated!
