The yellow coloration is striking in a well-structured tank. I kept a small group with rockwork and they are active grazers. The fish show good color when they move around the substrate. A great addition to a Tanganyika-themed setup.

They arrived healthy and were quarantined properly. The yellow tones stand out in the group, especially during feeding. I’ve noticed they prefer areas with fine gravel and open rock surfaces.

This is one of the most visually appealing Tropheus I’ve had. The group dynamics are natural, and they seem to enjoy the rockwork. Great for aquarists who want a colorful, active cichlid.
