  • About to head up to T&T Fish and Reptile

    Hi everyone,

    We're about to make a run up to T&T Fish and Reptile to see what they got in on Monday.  We were in last weekend and the owner told us he was getting lots of new stuff, so we're going to go check it out.  When we called, specifically to ask about Tropheus, they said they got lots of Tropheus if anyone is interested.  I'll report back when we get home.

    Last time I was there their Tropheus weren't the best of the bunch and a lot of them were just mixed together.


    Their Reef tanks............Now that's worth going for!

      We're home and of course couldn't come home without fish.  T&T had a lot of beautiful fish, IMO.  There was a tank full of Tropheus Moorii along with a Petrochromis.  He did have a few variants of the Mooriis in one tank, but he came over and talked to me about what was what and what he'd been feeding them.  Really nice man.  I came home with a few cherry spot...couldn't help it.  Imaguygeek came home with a pair of Paratilapia bleekeri, which I'd never seen before, but WOW...amazing!  I saw lots of Daffodils, 3 pretty large Snooks, some green and gold severums, um...what else...of course, green terrors, convicts (black and pink), frontosa (came from our house), some venustus with amazing coloring...anyway I know I'm leaving out a lot, but he was stocked full!  Just thought I'd share.

          See any interesting plecos in there today?  Trying to find a long-term keeper.  Thanks for the heads-up on the info.  I too think that is a great store.  They used to have more freshwater long ago, but now they seemed to have replaced a lot of that stock with saltys.  So, as a fw guy, that was kind of disappointing, but you know, its cool either way, and they still get good stuff in both sections.

            No, and I'm always looking for unique plecos.  In fact, I barely even saw any standard plecos today.  City Pets is the only LFS I've been to that had a variety of plecos, but I haven't covered the city.  I'll be sure to give you a shout if I run across any though.   :)

                  Thanks anyway.  I know where there are some nice ones in the city that I have seen, but they can get kind of pricey.  I know they might be accurately priced, but I don't want to spend 80 on a pleco or whatever.  If you want to know where I've seen some pm me.  Again, thanks for the heads-up.

                    Stopped by today to check out all the corals/inverts and saw the trophs.....he has had those for quite some time now....I think these are what was mixed in....Brichardi Uwiles, Lupota, bemba flame, and I think kirzia....the petro was nice looking and I almost left with it.....too bad the fiance intercepted.

                      Actually, those are new as of last Monday.  We went in last weekend to drop off some Frontosa and found out when they were getting another shipment in.  He told us he gets a new shipment every 6 or so weeks.  I'm just happy to have them there because I was having a hard time finding Tropheus anywhere around here.  FRII had some Duboisi, but they weren't for sell at the time we saw them.  

                      I agree, that Petro was impressive.  I wanted it as well, but had to make a choice...a few Trophs or 1 Petro.

                        City Pets has some larger duboisi's then what you normally see at most LFS's....they were $11.99 I believe......I have seen those Uwiles at T&T as well as some of the others....but maybe they keep getting a mixed pack.

                        Mike has Ndole bay but sadly they came with fungus....he is treating them right now and they are making a speedy recovering from what I have seen and probably the best price you will find on them too!!!! I think it beats most Online prices.

                        Check out the Tropheus/Petrochromis club forum below....there are threads with list of local bred fry that members have available.

                          Wow!  Thanks ek!  Now I know who I should have been asking...although trekking around the city on a quest for Tropheus was a good excuse to hit a few LFS's.  

                          BTW - saw your pics of the Moba's...they are beautiful!

                            Thank you...

                            I went through a few LFS's today myself and I am always looking out for the good stuff...Did you make your way to Ultimate Fish? Alex is a tanganyikan speciality shop and he always has nice Trophs/petros as well as other tangs....though his prices are a bit high.
