  • well places with decent tropheus to look at

    well i got the 90 cleaned out going to get some pool filter sand from a store near by and "borrow" some holey rock from some neighbors. i got a wet dry almost ready to roll and hopefully the new impellor will get the mag 12 working now alls i need to do is re-silcone the overflow in and add fish so my question if i want to browse some fish in person (pics are nice but im more partial to seeing up close ) where should i go and a side note should i use the GE silicone I or II

          LFS that have Tropheus....

            GE Silicone I.  The other one will kill your fish...it's got the anti-mold chemical in it.

                you may want to go ahead and add your location information into your profile, just to avoid future confusion.

                the tropheus/petro tour was a tour set up by the members of the Houston Petrochromis/Tropheus club. so far it was a one time thing, and it was a small tour in the area of people who keep these species.

                imo, we're due for another!

                      Agreed..


                      Expanding on Ek:

                      LFS that have Tropheus....

                      Extreme fish and pets - 10 Chaitika (3"), 10 Kazumba (3"), 30 Duboisi (fry to adult), and 2 other sp. Black juvie colonies in the back I think..

                      Ultimate fish - Chimba (30+ adult WC), Chaitika (20+ Adult WC), Duboisi (billions of them), and one or two other colonies that I can't remember names but do remember that they had yellow breast patches similar to a sp. Moorii Mpulugu - plus Petros.

                      Fish Ranch II - Don't remember but they had a big colony at the entrance to the Cichlid room. Possibly an sp. Black. (30+ adult)

                      Houston Aquarium Warehouse - I think his Chaitika are gone, but still has the Kazumba (10-12+ adult)

                      T&T fish and reptile - I don't remember seeing any last week when I went.

                      Texas Tropheus Traders (if you wanna make the trip) - Per an email sent to me last week:

                      Tropheus:
                      Lufubu -Wild, ~10
                      Lupota - Tank, ~10
                      Karago - Wild ~50
                      Kazumba - Tank ~15
                      Chimba _ Wild ~10
                      Chaitika - Wild ~10
                      Mtoto - Wild ~50

                      Petros:
                      Famula - Wild ~20
                      Tricolor - Wild ~10
                      Polyodon -Wild ~8
                      Trew - Wild ~20

                      He told me website prices apply..

                      Also.. I talked to Truong at Extreme today. He said he's going to try and get a few new WC adult colonies in the next few weeks. He made no promises but mentioned Ikolas - all depending on importers of course.

                          Ultimate Fish - misc. colony.... Chimba I believe
                          Fish Ranch II - colony of small chimba's or sp. red
                          T&T - Grab bag of trophs.... usually a mix of Ulwile/Cherry spot/Bemba or Kirizia and a lone Trew.
