Special Requirements - All African Cichlids are territorial to other males. The more rocks and hiding places they have the better. The Tropheus species are very susceptible to African Bloat, also called Malawi Bloat. There seems to be no explainable rationale as to its cause.
Tanks Mates and Compatibility – They may be kept in a larger aquarium with other herbivorous rock dwelling African cichlids along with some Synodontis catfish species.
Feeding – This cichlid is an omnivore. Their diet should consist of vegetable matter. An all purpose, high quality cichlid formula can be used as a basic diet. Including vegetable supplements to their diet will help with overall health.
