Received the Murago Congo Tropheus in good condition after quarantine. It’s a rare and visually striking fish that adds unique character to my Lake Tanganyika setup. The supplier provided clear documentation on the trade form, which helped with planning.

This cichlid is a standout in my aquarium. I’ve researched its origin carefully and appreciate the transparency about the trade form. It’s not for the casual aquarist, but the display value is well worth the effort.

The fish arrived healthy and seems active. I’m still learning about its specific needs. The documentation was helpful, but I wish there was more detail on water parameters or tank size recommendations.
