MoliroMan Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Ben...i agree, top quality tropheus shots! i think u female is one cute little lady. Looks very healthy indeed. So lucky to have the camera handy just when she is about to spit the dud egg! Have u decided whether u will strip them or let them spit naturally? I have found sometimes that the females hold a lot of pebbles as well...amazing how they don't damage the eggs! I can see u are well and truly hooked with your tropheus! Keep the pics coming!

MoliroMan Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 Great to see this thread still going strong! Here are some more tropheus pics - sorry about the algae on the glass in most of the shots! Ikola Ilangi Kiriza Moliro Enjoy Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Have u decided whether u will strip them or let them spit naturally? Hi Dave, I will strip for now. As you can see from the pic below I don't keep allot of rocks in my Tropheus tanks so there isn't really anywhere good for little ones to hide. When and if I am flooded with fry I will give it a go. I missed the first mouthful when I first got them and there isn't any survives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 These are for Merjo. And some bub Shots I dont normally strip my girls but had a female nearly bashed to death and had to save these guys. The fish in the fry tumbler next to them are flavus at the same age. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoliroMan Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 great pics guys! Keep posting all your pics! Tiger... Ideal size tank for your tropheus! How many duboisi are u adding to the mix? Would look amazing with the two contrasting colours! Make sure u keep posting pics when the newcomers arrive! Josh...how many weeks are those Nkonde fry? Must be close to 3 weeks? They usually survive if they are able to swim, just be careful with the egg sacs, they are very fragile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Dave They would have to be around 15-20 days, I dont really take notice of when my girls are holding anymore. It seems to be all the time Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrdog Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thanks guys . lee- I've got 11 little guys that were spat a few months ago. They're doing great. I haven't got any fry since though . NLS is a great food. Don't just switch all of a sudden though. Wean your Ts onto it gradually. Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoliroMan Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Seems like there is a tropheus explosion in Cowra at the moment! U might have to start your own little tropheus club overthere with all your growing members! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr troph Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Seems like there is a tropheus explosion in Cowra at the moment! U might have to start your own little tropheus club overthere with all your growing members! ← Yeah I been trying to convert them to Tropheus. I think my efforts are paying of perhaps its because I haven't lost a fish for well over a year and starting to be rewarded with fry. I'm going to be starting 2 new colonys soon probably wild caughts of some variety I'm always changing my mind there is so many trophs to choose from. That should get them keener. Everyones pics look fantastic keep them coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoliroMan Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Well done Mr Trophs, i guess with a name like yours you really like these little bluntnoses! Wildcaughts are great and will ensure that your fry are of good quality. Remember to post some pics of your tropheus and setups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy2422 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Todd sure loves his trophs. Haha imagine a fish club here, a straight troph one, all troph nerds in the one room!!! WOW. Cant wait till i get a colony for myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
