    At last I've finally got my first batch of around thirty Tropheus. Five years on and at last I've finally found my niche! Any Tropheus, except Duboisii. Lets see now if I can get the same results as when breeding Demasonis and Fairy Cichlids! Are there any tips from any of you who are in the know? Wish me luck!

    @MariaS Thank you, They're in my 700 litre tank now, but I will be moving them later to my 1000 litre just as soon as I can move my Fairy Cichlids. Yes very Cute! :) Still young, so they will need extra care at this stage...
