Tropheus Brichardi "canary cheek"


Josh

Recommended Posts

I am seriously thinking about expanding my Tropheus collection and the canary cheeks are what I want. wub.gif

Does anyone know of these fish being in the country. I know I can get them imported, but would like to know if they are in the country before I do.

Any info would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi Josh,

They have been here in oz in small numbers - Brichardi are very aggressive and need to be in big groups to keep them successfuly, alot have been lost to aggression.

I remember Steve (BengaBoy) telling me he knew of a colony in Perth

Good luck locating them

regards

I have brought them in but there are two morphs that they sell as canary cheek. I had one years ago that was sold to me as canary cheek but was in fact mpimbwe yellow cheek. One is black with a white face and a yellow dot (true canary cheek) the other one is brown with a yellow patch under the eye (mpimbwe yellow cheek). They are both Brichardi and like Jim said they are best kept in a big group.

Great to see u r still addicted to Tropheus!! I must say those canary cheeks r very impressive indeed. Let us know how u go in trying to get them. I know someone who had some for sale who is one of the sponsers (i am sure u know who i mean!). Will u be getting F1 or wildcaught? I would love some fry in the future if u finally get them.
