fish i.d.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Tropheus duboisi (Pemba) thats it yea i picked one up the other day they had it in a mix tank it seems to be doing really well with the others
 
Terribly cute youngsters aren't they!
Unfortunately, unless you know that the fish was collected from Pemba it should be regarded as a generic T. duboisi, wihout locality. You might be able to narrow one down as the fish ages by the thickness and color of the band but that won't be for a while and it's not guaranteed.
What you gonna keep the little guy with?
 
Tropheous require a vegetarian diet and quite often die from bloat when they get too much protein. So spirulina is really the best food for those fish.
No blood worms and meat products are good for them.
