Yes their throat will swell up, but it is not as obvious as a mbuna... They will continue to eat like you said, but very little... From my experience when a tropheus holds she will kinda lay low a little bit... Not like always hiding, but almost like she is not in the mainstream of the colony so much... Hope that helps and does not confuse you even more.
Curious...
Hello again,
I have A colony of 24 Ilangi. My question is, first I started this colony from fry ranging from 1" to 1.5" and there kept in a 75gal. I understand that while holding they continue to eat. What I'm trying to find out is does there throat swell up like mbuna's? How will I know if 1 is holding?
Thanks,
