  • My brand new Tropheus Duboisi Fry

    I just purchased 6 Duboisi fry and they're pretty cool looking. *ive never raised tropheus before but everything i've read leads me to believe this is gonna be a very fun fish. *right now i have them in a 29 gal (i know, i know, they need a much larger tank) but i will be transfering them to my 55 as soon as i get a 75 for my Fronts. *any knowledge about raising this fish would be greatly appreciated.

    So you aren't selling them?

    Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

        Here is what Geoff_Tropheus has to say about people gettting into tropheus. Definately worth the read.

                  as of right now you need to get more. I say target 20-25. They are cheap.

                  20-25 adults in a 75g will work just fine for them.

                      Inwood fish and pets, I thought i was the only one who accidently stumbled upon that hole in the wall! lol, he has cheap prices on a lot of stuff but the store is in horrible condition.  but yeah he has duboisi fry for $5, but he doesn't know a thing about them!

                        I use to frequent that store when the other brother was running it back when I was like 10 with my pops. Every weekend for the longest.

                        Now it is run down.

                          It is what it is, that's the way with a lot of businesses, some owners are apathetic towards the appearence of their shops, time, taxes, and crabby customers have wore them down. If you really want to see a run down store, head over to fish and pets on 249, that place makes Inwood look like the taj mahal.
