Can these be put together with syno cats and bichirs? I know the diets vary but thought it would make for a nice setup. one shops has duboisi that are black with white dots
and another shop has red moorii

Tropheus Duboisi and Moorii

The red moorii will kill the duboisi. I would get the duboisi. They are less likely to die in smaller groups.Taz2478 said:Can these be put together with syno cats and bichirs?

IMO, i don't think the moorii would kill the duboisi. i have my duboisi in with a venustus, female kenyii, labeotropheus f(however you spell it), cyrtocara moorii, sulfur head peacock, and a blood parrot and the duboisi is the smallest of them all and he holds his own. i've also read that they're one of the more aggressive of the tropheus. but like i said.. it's i'll IMO. 
If it is just one of each fish no, one would kill the other. If it is a large group of the two mixed together it should be fine. I have friend who has six tropeus sp. mixed in a 150gl and three tropheus sp. in a 75gl. If you have multiple tropheus all of the agressine will be spread out. If you just have two, only the stronger one will survive.

How many in all are you going to get?
Ill either order from the net or ask the 2 shops to get more in, I was thinkin 4-5 of ea. Ive been reading on these fish for about a yr and now I have a tank for it. Might go for 4 sp, find annectens and brichardi or some other tangi sp. Like Neolamprologus helianthus or Julidochromis transcriptus.
ok, how about a set of brichardi and moorrii. I found someone with blue rainbow and a cherry cheek?
You can mix pretty any tropheus together just as long as you have a big enough group of each. Like I mentioned earlier my freind has 6 sp. mixed together and I believe one sp. is the brichardi, don't remember what kind though. I say go for it.
