African Tropheus Duboisi Cichlid
Size: up to 5" pH:7.8 - 9.0 Temp:72 - 82oF Origin: Lake Tanganyika Food: New Life Spectrum "Cichlid Formula" found at Fish Foods Tropheus duboisi is a tough, hardy and rugged cichlid from Lake Tanganyika that, despite its quarrelsome behavior, is endearing to many hobbyists. This fish starts out as a juvenile with a jet black body adorned with dozens of white spots that completely cover its flanks. As it matures, it loses its spots and develops a blue head with a vertical yellow to white band. Males and females have identical coloration; however, there are a few subtle differences between sexes that may help you differentiate them Males tend to have a turned-up nose while females tend to have a greater slope and rounded nose. Males will also grow at a faster rate (generally) and display their adult colors sooner. Males' coloration is also often more bold than females' because they like to show it off when courting females. Adult males will also tend to have a deeper body, whereas females appear more slim and streamline. While these characteristics may help an experienced hobbyist, venting is the only sure way to determine gender with Tropheus. T. duboisi is strictly herbivorous like all Tropheus species. They spend the majority of their time scraping algae from the rocks in both an aquarium as well as in the wild. Size at shipping: about 1.5"+ SHIPS GREAT!
