Fs Tropheus "red" Kachese

[phishphorphun]

I would like to move about a third of my trophs. Going to be doing some new tank setups and have to thin out this tribe so I can transfer them into a four foot 120. Looking to sell a dozen of the smaller ones (2 1/2" to 3"). I suggest you have at least a 75g for them.

These would all be f2 and part of group where I started with nineteen fish and have doubled. These are pretty hearty. I haven't lost a single fish in two years. Asking $150 for a dozen Tropheus Reds.

Here are a few pix of them.

This one is not included, a pic of the dad to most of the younguns.

Here is a shot I took today of one of the typical fish for sale.

Bump. They are a little bigger now. Still $150 for 12. That's $12.50 per fish. Seems cheap to me.

Took a few snapshots of them today. They are still breeding and quite active.

Interested in a trade for an 8" Red Devil?

 

[phishphorphun]

Nah. Thanks for the offer though.

Wow, nice looking trophs!

Parkville eh?
I live right off of Bel Air Rd., inside the beltway.

Really beautiful fish.

I wish I had the space.

Think they would do well in a lace rocked 37 gal? Eventually move them in to my 55. I wouldn't want 12, maybe 6?

Tropheus need to be kept in large groups. 12 or more.

ERROR, ERROR, ERROR !!!

I forgot what the location of these "Reds" were, and categorized them as "Kachese".

A European web site just borrowed some photos from me last night and reminded me what they actually are.

They are "Ndole" not Kacheese. Almost identical though. Neighboring locations on the lake.

Another sexagenarian blunder. My mistake.

When I first got the original nineteen, the breeder suggested a group of thirty because they were gong right into a 120g.

I wouldn't let less than a dozen go. And recommend at least a 75g. Anything fewer or in a smaller tank, they would probably kill themselves.

In a year, the dozen would probably double in a well rocked out tank.
