What's the deal w/ Troph's

[myjohnson]

Petros don't really clean off the algae completely but they do eat any type of algae I have ever had in my tanks....good kinds and "bad" kinds.

[Nickintex]

Garra rufa are the best algae eaters I own, next to the nerite snails.

[myjohnson]

I don't mind plecos too much. I like them...just depends on which kind.

I tend to like the smaller ones that are a little rarer that's all.

I just don't keep plecos cause the algae in my tanks are for the tropheus and petros to graze on.

[Nickintex]

maybe some weak featherfins for something. )

I'm glad you did not say bichirs or plecos.

[myjohnson]

So who's the queen of tropical fish?

[myjohnson]

I actually think petros are the KING. They rule with an iron fist!

[Nickintex]

Trophs are the true king of tropical fish (sorry discus owners, no offense intended).

So who's the queen of tropical fish?

[Nickintex]

So Ceejay...
What did you learn from this thread?

[Nickintex]

they are like silly puppydogs. Come home and this fish is begging for attention from you like a puppy!

Is this why some people feed them Purina puppy chow?

[myjohnson]

Don't act like you aren't already turned out!

[Nickintex]

WAIT, you guys are trying to convert me. You guys want me to go troph?

[Nickintex]

NICK will kill it.

Hey, you said you'd give me one too.
So is it better to have trophed once and failed, than to have never trophed at all?

[myjohnson]

NICK will kill it.

[CichlidFan]

Me so happy.....
