My little Tanganiyka

DOMINANT MALE TROPHEUS SP.RED MOLIRIO
































i'm also a great fan of Tropheus(pictures),Sphatodus,Neolamprologus,Julidochromis & Semichromis.



Beatiful group of african cichlids from unusual lake Tanganiyka,which haven't been change for last 20 mln years.All this fish are endemic,which means you can find them only in this lake.

On above pictures you can see my Tropheus moori "moliro"(bottom left & right---both females) & "chipimbi"(top left) and Tropheus dubois(still young-top right).in future plans i want to added Spathodus(goby cichlids),Julidochromis reganii and Semichromis as well.



Tropheus are herbivorus,and they shouldn't be feed any meat based food.In other case it will caused a "bloat" and slow and painfull date.in every shop you can find specialy desighned food for herbivorus cichlids from that Lake.also you can use spinach,lettuce,cucumber and peas.

As you see on above pictures they mouth are specialy designed to feed on alge(in natural habitat this alge type calls "spirulina".
