In August of 2008, I decided to dedicate one on my 55 gallon aquariums to the raising of juvenile Tropheus. Other attempts to raise these creatures resulted in failure, many of the young dying to more adult fish, bloat, and other causes unknown. Break out the wallet... here we go again.
I knew the basics. Heavy Filtration, strict vegetarian diet (which meant my picky eating Frontosa would need to be migrated to another aquarium), proper pH, temperature, lighting (actinic and daylight), and leaving well enough alone as not to perturb their environment (they seem to like little or no change).
Among the Tropheus in the population are Duboisi Maswa, Duboisi Karilani, Ilangi, Bemba, Ikola, Canary Cheeks, and Green Murago. I will post progress as I attempt to grow up these colonies. Advice and constructive criticism is welcome.
