Med size Tropheus
« on: December 16, 2013, 11:24:45 AM »
Looking for a med to large Tropheus of some kind.  I lost my Chimba Red.  He was always to small to eat the larger pellets... until recently and I think he ate to many.   :'(

So, I am looking for something in a size that could eat a med size NLS pellet and be ok.

I do, a lot!  But I figured you wanted to sell the whole group.

 I have 3 nice F1 Adult Tropheus Ikola males that I'm selling...

 Let me know if you want one or I'll give you a good deal on all three of them.

 Some people swear it's not but I think that it's the NLS. I can only feed about 25% Max per week of my trophs normal diet or it starts causing issues.

 I use a Formula that is Designed for marine herbivores Made by Ocean Nutrition! it's Awesome!

 been using it for years now with absolutely no issues. its a food that you can switch to cold turkey! Although it's best to feed any new food lightly.

 Which I can also attest to that that doesn't matter with NLS. At least not with me for some reason. it will be fine for a little while and then BOOM, dead fish. so I'm done losing fish to food. I started using it again for about a month or so and out of no where, I woke to a dead WC Bulu Point and it wasn't aggression or any other excuse. it was Deff the NLS.

 Just my experience. To each their own!  ;)

Flakes are fine (  just make sure they get some spirolina in their diet)

The tank that I want to put it in... the same that my other one was in... has all kinds of fish.  I would have to feed a lot of flake food to fill them up.
