Keeping Tropheus? Don't overlook this!

Simply put, we need to keep in mind the habitat they evolved in, and try to replicate that in our aquariums.

[@FatherFish]

Absolutely correct and vital. CO2 and O2 exchange can only occur at the surface. Moving water continuously and at a strong flow rate is critical for tanks with large numbers of fish like those from the rift lakes. This makes power outages especially dangerous. It is wise to reduce numbers of fish to insure adequate exchange in the event water stops moving.

Beautiful tank my friend wow ❤️😊👍

[@h20aklandfng63]

Pretty awesome setup and video. I am a firm believer in keeping things simple and enjoying the fish. That said fish health has to be a priority, but our health and sanity should be our main priority.

[@jimjones7821]

Disagree. You take these fish out of the wild and put them in your tank and YOU become thier life support. Its a big responsibility that not many take seriously. If you value your own well being above anything else that's all well and fine but then dont take on the care role of animals as they are so dependant on you.

[@davisraelify]

Thank you so very much. I use lava rocks...lot of them😊. The place where i leave, more than ammonia i've to worry about heat. I lost 5 of my brichardies. I just couldn't get the temperature down. Kept doing water changes and ice bottles. Latent heat of water is high. Now i've removed the lid completely from 35°C it's now come down to 30. Thanks again for taking time out to reply to my queries. Much appreciated. Fan from India😊.

Great tips and amazing tank dude!! I would love to have a tropheus tank! Good job..

Beautiful fish tank

[@MakoyUnggoy]

Nice collection!

[@lukasprat4342]

Yeah looks nice but when you put too much říčky in there then too much territories which then cause fights which lead to death

Beautiful tank! Good information! Good job 👍🏿

[@Clegane90]

Great job man and good for telling !!

[@EVP22]

Watching this November 2021 😀 Really great video and great advice. I hope to keep my own Tropheus colony tank one day 😊✌️

[@AquaticLogic]

Thanks!

[@monsterfishkeeper82]

Amazing tank set up bud

[@chikechovis2499]

Are those rocks real? if so does the weight worry you? Only asking cause I want basically the exact same look but Im scared to put that many big rocks in my tank.

[@Designerblunts]

If your gonna put any big rocks in your aquarium I would recommend to lay down some egg creat first so it could protect the bottom glass

[@milehighbeerguy4586]

I think that is an overlook for A LOT of aquariums... especially African chlorides due to overstocking!! Good tip!

Great tank my friend. Greatings from Poland

Dziękuję Ci

Good job!!!!

sweet tank, nice job

[@dermotkelly2971]

Great tank you have. I read somewhere that you have to keep the same species of Tropheus together in a tank. I don't know anything about these fish really.

[@toaster3822]

Jesus christ help us all what a stupid comment: "I don't know fuck all about these fish - but I read somewhere that you shouldn't keep them with different species"

[@dermotkelly2971]

@@toaster3822 You know fuck all too then!

[@davisraelify]

Thank you for your reply. I have 2 sun sun filters which turns water about 600 gallons per hour. One power head and 2 air stones. Ph of my water is 8.5 without using any buffers.

[@AquaticLogic]

You could probably do 8 of them in there with really good rock work. Just watch out for the Ammonia with a pH of 8.5

What’s a good amount of Tropheus in 72 gallon tank

[@davisraelify]

I'm yet to keep them. Want to do all my research before i keep them.

[@ANGKOI1]

Beautiful. What do you feed them? And how often?

[@rayannfowler3971]

What do you feed them? I can’t get mine to eat and we just got a black spotted, it says they like veggies not meat?

[@bertramsay2904]

What are the blue striped fish ? They look a bit like demasoni.

[@kumarsa108]

I want to know too.

What are your thoughts on a tropheus/mbuna aquarium. Being that the feeding requirements are somewhat similar.

[@vinniediego]

[@vinniediego]

He's got some Mbunas in there, Demasonis or Mpangas

Hi, I'm thinking of keeping these guys. Would you recommend keeping these guys in a 36 inch tank? if yes, how many can i keep?

[@davisraelify]

Thank you for the link. However my question was in regards to tropheus keeping them in a 60 gallon tank. Their minimum tank requirement is 75 gallons (not sure the number one can keep). Kindly let me know.

[@AquaticLogic]

What size are the fish? What type of filtration? What is your water chemistry numbers? - There are many many variables (as per my video).

[@MrKensmith1964]

See the problem I have with this is they were born and raised in captivity they never lived in the wild near the shore

[@AquaticLogic]

Thats very true, but over millennia they have evolved to live in shallow limnetic zones in the lake which are highly oxygenated (with respect to the air above the lake) and therefore do not have well developed gills. They can suffer hypoxia much sooner than other species of fish like carp, and bettas for example, and this is a function of its genetic evolution and is irrespective to its environment. Hope that helps.

[@MrKensmith1964]

cool

Why not?

you've had Tropheus for a week and you're talking about them... as a warning to others... it doesn't make sense

I think the comments are messed up on the old KZbin. I replied to this a few days ago, but when I scrolled through its not showing anything... Weird...

Surface disruption 😂,, just say surface agitation like everyone else

Agitation seems to be your game. Glad he just ignored you.
