I love my tropheus. they have got to be one of my best fish i have. their yellow and orange band is so bright & awesome when they display their colours. im hoping to get a bigger tank for them when i can get rid of one of my other tank full of fish and the tank. as i need the space on they wall its taking up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea one of my dubs have coloured up and doesn't show spots anymore but the others do and aren't showing their bands, possibly in fear of the dominant one :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 i think its my males that do that, sometimes showing their band & other times not. i have seen one have a band on one side & not the other to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
