Do you keep Tropheus? What variants? What setup & tankmates?

Do you currently keep Tropheus? If so, what variants? And what tank size and tank mates?

Here's what I keep...

Tropheus MOORII NKONDE -> 16 fishes [unknown M/F ratio] -> 150-gallon [48" x 24" footprint] --> Tankmates: Tanganicodus Irsacae, Panaque Nigrolineatus

Tropheus MOORII NSUMBU -> 12 fishes [unknown M/F ratio] -> 55-gallon [48" x 12" footprint] --> Tankmates: Synodontis Petricola

And now, someone else can take their turn! Smile

Fish were 2.5" or so, and approx. two years old, according to the previous owner. I only had them about 4 months. Sold for $125 CA ($109 US) to a fellow local collector who is returning to Tropheus after a few years away from them.

I have two Tropheus tanks.

The Annectens contains 15 Annectens.
2x Occeleatus blue 1 Gold.(got wrong fish)
1x pair of Calvis
1x pair of Gold head Compresiceps
2x pairs of Tetrachantus
1x Panaque Nigrolineatus.
3x Syno Flavitaenatus
1x Syno Multipunctatus
And believe it or not Ghost knife fish. He has been in the tank since it was a Discus tank, then a Central American tank, Then a Hap tank and now Tropheus.

My Lupota tank contains
15 Lupota.
1 x Paki loach
1 x Syno Angelicus
1 x Syno Schall
1 x Syno Shoutedine
1 x Syno Ocelifir.
1 x Nyasse paecock(will be moved when he has recovered.)
All the cats will be sold at an upcoming fish show expect the ones in the Annectens tank.
