The Tropheus Duboise has been a striking addition to my tank. It’s active and colorful, and it enjoys the algae plates I provide. The fish seems healthy and calm in its environment. Great choice for a cichlid enthusiast.

I’ve kept this fish for over a year and it’s still vibrant. It doesn’t eat much, so I feed it algae wafers twice a day. It’s a peaceful fish and fits well in a community tank with other cichlids.
Sally Kelly –
The coloration is impressive and the fish is very active. I’ve noticed it spends time grazing on the glass and substrate. It’s a bit shy at first but settles into the tank after a few weeks.
