Tropheus

Tropheus are colorful freshwater fish native to Lake Tanganyika in Africa. Known for their vibrant, often striking colors, they are popular among aquarists. These fish are social, typically living in groups, and require specific water conditions that mimic their natural habitat. They are herbivores, feeding mainly on algae and plant material. Tropheus are hardy but sensitive to water quality changes, needing stable conditions to thrive. In aquariums, they often establish territories and can be kept with other similarly sized, peaceful fish. Their unique appearances and behaviors make them a fascinating choice for dedicated fish enthusiasts.
