We'll see

If you're gonna strip, why not strip now? I know tropheus eggs start hatching at day 4/5. Waiting another 3/4 days could be good or bad.

Re: Petrochromis sp Blue Giant

Yeah, I haven't fed them since last Wednesday.

Thanks Steve. She actually does claim the little area blocked off by the overflow box and the rock to the right of the tank and the back right corner. She basically chills out there and chases off anybody who comes close

Typical holding petro female behavior I suppose. Mine sure won't let anyone swim behind her rock and hang around for long. Did you follow through with your plan to withhold food for a few days right after they spawned. Running into some trouble with mine that sounds similar. She starts coming up when I feed, pretty soon tries to sneak a bite, and before long i see she don't seem to be holding anymore.

Re: Petrochromis sp Blue Giant

Yeah, that's how mine actswhen holding. Keeps her little end of the tank kinda clear. Looks like she's claiming half the tank. You might looks at adjusting the scape somehow to give her a smaller security zone. Mine keeps things clear behind big rock on one end. BVut that leaves most of the tank off her turf. Agree with what someone else said - Moshi look good in there!
