dan walter Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Awesome job.How magic do they look schooling up like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccal Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Extremely high chance they will survive,,, tropheus don't predate on their offspring like most other cichlids,,, but occasionally some colonies do predate on a few.Maybe a good handful of synodontis petricola would clean up the fry.

boonahsider Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 2 females holding...that's awesome! Congrats!! Just wondering the size of holding females & Alpha Male. I did so many attempt to breed T. ikola but no luck for me. Will be try them again on future. Beautiful and Quality bloodline from Jim! Congrats again!

Link2Hell Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 let nature take it's course but you will be surprised at how many will surviveand I think you will like the mixed sizes and seeing a fry pop in and out of cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydashton Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Great tank and ts mate. Looks amazing. I would just leave them go, would look cool with fry swimming around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
