This is my colony of wild caught Tropheus Duboisi 'Karilani'.Narrow white band.
I've heard Tropheus are difficult to keep alive but so far it's been 5 weeks and no bloat yet.

They're fed Dainichi VeggieFX,Hikari Cichlid Excel,and OSI Spirulina flakes.
I'm running an Eheim Pro 2 2028 and an Aquaclear 110 for filtration. I change 40% of the water once per week and add Seachem Cichlid salt in the recommended amount.

I'm keeping the tank pretty bare until they spawn a few times.After that,I'll add all the rocks.

Recorded with a Canon HV20 in 1080i.

    When they get to a good size,I'll sell some.
    I just noticed two small ones in the rocks but they're less than 1cm.
