Tropheus moorii
About
A highly social, rock-grazing Lake Tanganyika cichlid with numerous geographically distinct color forms. Tropheus should be maintained in a carefully planned group in a spacious aquarium with extensive rockwork. Their digestive system is adapted to aufwuchs-based feeding, so vegetable-rich foods and stable water quality are important.
