The genus Tropheus is very popular among fishkeepers all over the world. It is not a beginner's fish and many fish keepers find it very attractive fish to keep. In the wild, Tropheus are found throughout rocky habitats, all over Lake Tanganyika. In these environments they scrape algae from rocks. All Tropheus share the same diet; they are all herbivores that should be feed with veggie foods. Due to their aggressions all should be kept in large groups in order to spread aggressions. According to Ad Konings the Tropheus genus divided into 8 different species: T. Moorii, T. Annectens, T. Duboisi, T. Brichardi, T. sp. “black”, T. sp. “red”, T. sp. “Mpimbwe”, and T. sp. “Ikola”. Most species have different geographical variants, each with its own distinctive morphology. With now doubt, the tropheus is one of the most sought after cichlids all over the world....
