Hi Oliver. Naturally the female "holds" the brood for 3.5-4 weeks. During that period of time, the female barely eats & get weakened. I usually strip the female after 9-10 days to prevent her from holding full term. It's important to understand that in the wild, mouthbrooding females can hide & will not suffer harassment like females in a group settled in an standard aquarium.
Great videos...what a fantastic business you have...love it. Was hoping you can share some expertise....I have Tropheus Sunspots, Moorii and Dubosi's that are now 1.5 to 2.5 inches long. When would I have to start to be diligent about identifying females that have larvae in their mouths? None of the Tropheus have lost their junivelle patterns yet...a couple bigger ones are starting to morph into the single stripe of color. Thanks
Dear Sir Very impressed by your set up... I was planning to start a juvenile tropheus set up..It would be very helpfull if you could give the main tips to keep Tropheus for them to thrive well.... Including number ....feeding regimen...water changes etc etc... Ill be very thankfull for advice from an expert....
Minimum 70 gallon tank larger groups of 20 plus 80f water temp ph 8/9 weekly water changes 50% spirulina based food I feed mine flakes on a morning green chichlid pellet afternoon spirulina stick on tablet as a treat and brine shrimp once every couple weeks as a treat crushed coral substrate too aid in digestion hope this helps
Hi sir How many days it took to growth of frys about 2inches And how to have fryes quick grouth in short period of time? Thanks if you can reply earlier
Hi, thank you for your question. Tropheus growth rate until fry reaches 6-7 cm is approx. 1 cm a month. You can not increase growing rate by using the recommended natural way, but make sure not to decrease the growing rate (small tank,overcrowded, low quality food etc.). I hope it helps :)
Thank you for your reply, what food will be given to them, is there any home made food or recipes, or any best food from market you can recommend,? Also is tank size and frequent water change mattress for growth? Glad if you reply earlier Thanks
+bofarrah Hi bofarrah. Sorry to hear abot your loses. You should keep Tropheus at 24-26 degrees Celsius. pH level should be 7.6-8.5. Diet consist on vegetrian food only, I recommened Sera granugreen pelets. I hope it helps a bit ;)
