I have 125 gallon tank with 3 peacocks, 2 Fontosa's small 3-1/2'' , 1 Bristlenose pleco, and 2- 3'' tropheus Brichardi's. Question for you all is can this work out? I want to know what food to feed all the fish and not kill my new tropheus?. I have been feeding small sinking New Life Spectrum so far. Also how many of these cool Trouphes can I put in my tank safe? I will keep this tank to only these fish and maybe add more peacocks and tropheus in future. Thanks In advance. Chris Derrick
Information on Tropheus Brichardi with other tank mates please.

Personally I don't like the idea of mixing fronts with tropheus. The hyper active attitude of the trophs seems to stress out the fronts. I know there are a few people that have had this work, but I would say they're in the minority for sure.
If you removed the fronts, I would say you could do quite a few tropheus....atleast 40 in the 125.
NLS is a good food to feed them, you should be okay there...you can also mix it up with other high quality foods. They seem to like a varied diet.

Tropheus should be feed a vegeterain diet only otherwise you can run into problems with bloat. Once they mature I have seen them feed on a mixed diet.
What other foods do you recommend feeding them that my meat eaters will enjoy also? I would like to mix up some diffrent things just worried about causing bloat in them. Right now they are leaving the Fronts alone so I am going to leave it alone. Can you mix diffrent Tropheus with the ones I have now or stick to one kind? Also how often do you feed once a day or more? thanks in advance cd
Try not to mix them, they do not like other types much. NLS would work as a food source for both.
