Just goes to show that fishes do not read books or subscribe to self proclaimed experts. These two setups break all the rules of the snobs who raise or are so called authorities on tropheus species. These colonies are thriving, breeding and cohabitating with other species and plant life. Simply amazing Daryl.

Yeah just got told by an "expert" Tropheus will destroy all the plants in my tank within 24 hours. I was then tempted to send him this video link.

My God these are beautiful tanks my friend!!! And trust me I have seen thousands but a planted tropheus tank is amazing and amazing your tanks are!!!!! Wow!

not a huge fan of planted tanks... but yours is just so stunning & beautiful fish!!!

Amazing tank ! The best example for me !

*Wow, Awesome Tanks!*

Great tanks!

Sweet tank new sub

Wow! Beautiful!

Beautiful aquariums. Healthy breeding fish. Thriving plants only benefit the system. It doesn't matter one iota whether plants aren't in their natural environment. once in the aquarium the fish aren't in a natural environment.

Nice taks dude

you dont do more vids ?

Very pretty! What do you do for algae control with cichlids? I've always used Otos but I'm sure African cichlids would make a quick meal out of them!

Unsuitable in a natural habitat kind of sense? Yes. Unsuitable in a "tank isn't healthy for the fish" kind of sense? Nah. A stressed Tropheus specimen will likely get Bloat and refuse to eat, chosing to hide and shimy with its fins clamped until its body collapses on itself and dies, I assume you know. These Tropheus seem active, they are creating offspring, which means they are feeding well, and it appears that they feel that the environment is safe enough to let their young out of their mouths, seeing the size of the fry that are swimming around among the foliage. Knowledge that is learned through keeping things first hand are to be learned and considered, yes, but they're not laws that are meant to be strictly followed. In this hobby, we try to give our fish the best lives that they can have within little glass boxes, and so we tend to replicate the places our fish would naturally live in. Of course, mkst of our fish don't actually come from those places, instead coming from farms that use vats and tubs to contain them. The fish, never knowing where they come from, have suited themselves with the ever-changing environment that they exist in, they've grown to not care, their bodies toughen, uncaring of whatever place they will go in next. If people can have Bettas and Tetras thrive in hard, alkaline water, why can't people keep Tropheus in planted tanks, despite the fish showing no negative effects when kept in such conditions?
