smidey Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 JV did give me good advise(as they always have in past dealings also),it was my decision to take 4. As far as I am concerned,they are awesome fish hobbyist's.and i am sure i am not the only one that thinks that. The topic title is 'who has what tropheus?'' ,I understood it as a discussion of seeing how many people kept tropheus,and which varieties ,that is why i posted what i have.I wasn't intending to get an arguement going,sorry. some loose it, get emotional & argue but discussions are good, we all have differing ideas & conflict happens. that is life at the end of the day, you still need to increase your numbers or you will end up with less.

ryanjury Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 It is a difficult one and one of those ethical decisions.. I know when I sell demasoni I stress to people that you should have 12 minimum but some people come back and say they know this and they are happy to take xx number of them. I point out it is very likely that they will end up with 1 and they say they are happy to take the risk. Smaller colonies of these do work sometimes but it is only the very luck who end up with 1m and multiple females that have it work. End of the day you can only do so much I had one guy buy 2 demasoni off me with me kicking and screaming telling him not to, he ended up with a pair that breed successfully for him a few times but eventually the male got the female he used to come out to me and wind me up telling me my dems were super aggressive but had to come back and admit I was right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkie Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Well i for one have found Johannes Visser to be outstanding in regards to advice on keeping tropheus. He was happy to call me after hours and spent at least an hour on the ph with me going through all the things i need to no from feeding to water quality rite through to which ones are best suited together etc and on top of that it was costing him money as it was a toll call. Just thought i should put a buyers point of view forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live and let live people. sadly almost all the african fish threads on here seem to follow the same trend. first positive, then caution about hybrid this, hybrid that, then name calling followed out by all out war. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Visser Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 i suggest you get more or there is a high chance one caramba will kill the others. it seems you have been put in a tough situation by the seller. :roll: :roll: So how did we not inform them??? how did we put them in a tough situation ?????

nudge Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'll get the ball rolling. 5ft 90g with 20+ duboisi round 7-9cm mark with 2 leleupi (looks like it may be 2m) @ 4cm and 4 black calvus 4-6cm, unfortunately looks like 4males, already moved 1 out to the recovery ward as his tail fin was missing a few chunks. How bout you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannes Visser Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Nice.... they were our first Tropheus !! :nfs: We got them from Out of Africa. We had a hard time breeding our lot of Alto comps! Good luck with the calvus you need loads of patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
