:headbang2
 
ive got 3 firecracker trophues. they are camera shy*L* ill do what i can to get a good shot. but no promises.
 
Tropheus Moliro is the only one I have left. They are a pain in the ***
to get a pic of. Will not stop moving for nothing.
 
i feel all of yall! i just picked up a group of 10 tropheus duboisi's +1 that ive had for 2 weeks and wanted to take some pics to post but there aint no way!:nilly:
 
all of the Tropheus no matter what sub species are amazing fish. lots of color and movement they are really hard to get photos though*S*
 
Ive got some tropheus moori moliro red's! I got 13 juvi's a month ago, pretty fast, i keep them with 5 frontosa that range from 4.5 to 10 inches. They keep thier aggression to the respective species and I have had no expensive meals for the fronts yet. There are some other fish in my 150 gallon so the fronts dont really bother, plus they are so slow. Plenty of caves help. Tropheus do better in larger groups due to thier aggression they need to spread it out among a large group or slowly you will have just 1 fish.

using a flash helps :)

I would love to do a tank of these guys, any tips?
algea eaters, they get good size , if i rememebr 6-8 inches, look for good color pick and choose these fish, i know theey hate it when you say i want,,,,"That one" but look for reds, greens and yellows, and oranges, all good colors these fish can get . awesome fish. semi to moderate aggression, i have 3 in a 55 with a couple ctens' and some barlius minnows. very attractive
