Benthochromis tricoti

[andy1985]

Hi i was looking to get some info on Tricoti, as like there growth rate and if most are wild court or tank bread?

Most vendors I deal with stock wild caught. They are pricey and I have never owned any, so I can't advise on the growth rate. I know you need a long tank and they are supposedly pretty flighty, so a deep tank would be a good idea too, since they dive when they get spooked. Good luck

Tricoti are almost always W/C or F1 they are extremely difficult to breed, and are best kept in a large species tank, dimly lit, in a dimly lit room. Keep the lights on a timer, and get them used to feeding at the same time every day. That all might sound extreme, but that's what I was told has to be done to get them to spawn, and the reason I never bought them.
