I have a long history of over 25 years with the Tropheus Duboisi species. The present colony is a mixture of generations raised in my tanks and additions of other ones from a local breeder. They are kept in dechlorinated tap water at a temperature of 75-80 F.
Spawning notes:
Species Spawned: Yes
75 gallon tank is filled with rocks. Dominant male with a female, other adult males, and generations of fry. Temperature between 75 and 80 F.
Have Reared Fry? Yes
Use only flake food for adults and fry. Fry success rate when female is removed to a separate tank and releases them when she's ready is close to 100%.
