Stone Aquatics blue eyed Tropheus brichardi Kipili

Howzit!

Stone Aquatics have a small group of 15 blue eyed F1 Tropheus brichardi Kipili in Stock from Pisces Farm - Tanganyika & Malawi Cichlids.




Awesome fish, they are extremely busy and will keep you entertained for hours.
These vegetarians... Yes vegetarians, naturally graze on algae throughout the day and therefore their dietary requirements differ tremendously to that of the predatory cichlids of Lake Tanganyika.


Tropheus are best kept in groups of 12+ in tanks of 500 liters+

That fish looks either JACKed or STONEd.
It looks happy either way.
You can almost see it smiling.

 

Will I be able to keep them with my 2 brichardi and 1 rainbow shark wanted to breed the brichardi but now the 3ft they are in will be for tanganyika cichlids and the shark

 

Howzit,
@Pezulu, that pose was he's magnum look... hehehe.
When feeding, one always finishes with a smile as they will all take chances in nipping your fingers as you feed. Awesome fish!
@gwshorten, Tropheus require a veggie /Spirulina based diet making it difficult to select tank-mates as the majority of Lake Tanganyika cichlids require a more protein based diet.
