i have 6 tropheus Moorii in a 40 breeder, they are about 4in maybe a little bigger, and they are doing awesome. I started with 6 and still have the same 6. TONS of rock work though, once in awhile they mess each other up alittle but they are breeding very good for me, and they look awesome. I have been told though that my tank might be an exception to the rule.
Tell me about Tropheus?

is there anything else in your tank other than the trophs? He wants to put it with his setup and fish. We need to see all issues of compatibility... anyone have a mix of haps, peacocks, and mbuna with them...
I had a single Tropheus duboisi Kigoma in a Hap/Peacock tank. He was a bit on the aggressive side; nothing serious but it did take away from the relative peace in the tank. Unfortunately he died from bloat.
I am trying again; this time with a beautiful Tropheus moorii. He's doing well so far and no signs of aggression between him and any of the Lake Malawi cichlids.

my mixed tank has all mbuna and a peacock and 2 tropheus now, i got rid of the hap, he was getting beat up on but everyone gets along fine.
Maybe I will give one of these guys a go if I see a fine specimen. But it will be only a single fish...
i had one in my 155 g with lab, peacock, and hybrids and they didnt like him.Messed him up in a week
General Tropheus guidelines...
Aquarium has to be 80 gallons or up (best is 105 gallon or up).
Length of the aquarium should be at least 5 feet.
Minimum group should be 12.
There should be a minimum of 6.6 gallons per fish available.
That's the data I trust, and why I haven't yet got any Tropheus yet. (I can't place a tank that big.)
