I'm looking for those who have tried (and achieved success) to build a Tropheus colony from a very low starting # of fish as a "colony"?
I acquired one pair of Nkonde Orange Sunspot from the LFS I deal with who had lost their colony brotehrs and sisters several months before. This misfortunate pair was living with a "mixed cichlids" setup of Malawi.
Upon bring them home to live with my Duboisi Karilani colony, this pair has given me 2 broods of 4 juvies, for a total of 8 offspring, which now live in my growout setup with 44 Duboisi Karilani juvies.
Has anyone else been able to build a colony of at least 20 fish from a pair, like I am trying to do?
