  • Monthly Tropheus Fry List

    Is there any way that we can start a recurring list of what and how many tropheus and tropheus babies you guys have for sale. I am planning to make a trip to Houston next month and would like to pick up a colony or 2 or even babies for my pond.

    I think this would be good for people like myself that would like to get some babies , but don't know what you guys have or carry.

    Thanks a bunch

    I will get with other members and see what I can start keeping as an update on fry available list.

    The only issue I have is Tropheus are not pond fish.  Unless you have a heated pond that will maintain 74F-81F, this is not the fish for your pond.

    In addition, Tropheus can become sick from stress more easily than other African fish.  The fish do not do well when regularly viewed from above.  They live in the rocky areas and are prone to preditation by Birds.

    I would not recomend Tropheus in pond settings.

      I agree with Geoff Tropheus are not  pond fish and would do much better viewed from the side and in larger colonies.

        I also have a couple 100 and a 120 that i can set up for them inside. I just was wanted to see if anyone had a running list of tropheus for sale. I will take your advice and not put them outside.

        Thanks

                    All fry are $8 each.

                    2- F1 Katoto 2"
                    6 - Tankraised Karliani Island Duboisi - Spit to 2"
                    12 - F1 Ikola - spit to 1.5"
                    70 - F1 Ujiji - spit to 3"

                    Please PM if interested.

                    If someone wants the Katoto, I will start striping females to make more for you in the future.

                    I will always have Ikola, Ujiji, and Mpimbwe once the breeding starts in about 4 months on the Mpimbwe.

                    All these fish are only Local Pickup.

                    Post or PM if fine with me.

                    Take care,

                      Nice list Geoff!


                      I have just this....

                      10- F1 Ilangi....they are about little bigger then spit size to 1"

                      Their breeding has been disrupted by the petros I put in with them but I plan to remove them shortly so the breeding should pick back up.

                        yeah, the breeding really gets out of whack the more differnt fish or more variants in the tank.

                        To make lots of babies, best to have sinlge colonies.

                          The Ujiji factory seems to be on overdrive.

                            Yeah I think Geoff is about to make them less desirable by flooding the market.....I have noticed that there is more then one person that has had Brichardi variants pump out fry like no other......could this be something different about them compared to other variants when it comes to breeding/brooding?

                              I have thought about this before as well EK
                              While I have no real data to prove this is true for all of them it seems to be somewhat common place for some Brichardi types to produce buckets of fry.
