| pH | 7.5-8.5 |
| Max Size | 12cm |
Like most Tropheus this is an herbivore, meaning they spend most of there day eating algae and other plant matter in lake Tanganyika. Feeding them a spirulina based food is a must with treats, we also like to feed romaine lettuce and spinach. They can handle the occasional meat based food, but feeding it too often will cause bloat, which Tropheus are susceptible to.
Tropheus are found in the rocky reef where there is a lot of light, this is way algae grows quickest. Replicating this will cause your Tropheus to adapt to your aquarium much more quickly.
Tropheus are highly aggressive to conspecific species, because of this it is advised to keep them in groups of 12 or more to spread the aggression out.

Please read the following before you place an order.
We ship our fish with DX, the only courier in the United Kingdom who are licensed to ship fish and other livestock by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs.
We can guarantee next-day delivery for £32 between Monday and Thursday for orders placed before 1pm and for boxes up to 25kg.
We are able to ship on Friday for a Saturday arrival, but this service will cost £45.
Please note that we will not send a fish that day if overnight temperatures are due to be lower than 6 degrees Celsius.
Some of the fish we stock can be sexed and are sold in a pair of 1 male and 1 female. Please bear in mind, however, that we attempt to match them correctly to the best of our anatomic knowledge but there can be some mistakes, as it is not always guaranteed that the fish will be oppositely sexed.
All our fish are packed in double thickness bags for their safety and security.
The bags are then packed into a polystyrene box with a 40h heat pack and a cardboard outer.
After a shipping date is agreed upon, it is the responsibility of the buyer to be at home when the package arrives.
Once the fish arrive it is your responsibility to acclimatise and then quarantine them using the dripping method. All fish leave our care in good health.
On account of stringent regulations and certificates surrounding the shipping of live fish reintroduced following the United Kingdom’s (UK) exit from the European Union (EU) in 2016, Aquarium-Fish Ltd are no longer able to ship to the EU.
However, we are able to ship anywhere else in the world. Please get in touch if you reside outside the UK and are interested in making a purchase to discuss shipping costs and times.
