I have a local acquaintance that I have bought nice F1 Tropheus from who has between 15-20 Petrochromis Moshi fry 3-4 inches at a very fair price. I am tempted to dive into the nether and try and keep a group of Petros as my new 180 tank stocking. I can keep up with Tropheus, but I have heard that Petros are Tropheus on speed and steroids. Moshi are one of the more aggressive varieties...but that yellow. What are your thoughts?
 
I've kept Tropheus, but petros are still on the "one day" list. I say go for it, and post lots of pics. Honestly my only advice would be to shoot for a bigger tank if possible. Good luck with your decision.
