takes 4-5 years to breed these guys,not a very easy cichlid to breed, i am not saying one cant get lucky but, 4-5 years ,i am one of them waiting for that day i cant wait an-til i see my first baby's......

Yes, definately 4-5 years, bought mine as tiny juvies had them for quite a while before they began to breed. It was a complete surprise when I finally found one with a mouthful of fry. Good luck with yours- post pics if you can.

out of all my A.Cichlids they are slow growers,but the guy i get them from he told me that they mature in 2-3 years....i tell you one-thing,tropheus and Frontosa's are my all-time favorite A.Cichlid.

trpoheus dubois are not south american cichlids they are endemic to lake tanganyika found in 3 diffrent areas of the lake!and are very easily get bloat be careful giveing out incorrect info !
