Tropheus Ikola F1

[JRcichlids]

hi i have been offered 10x 2inch ikola f1 fry for £50 is this worth that amount of money?

any help on what these fish are worth would be great i have seen them in shops but they never have any prices on them

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

That's a great deal. I've seen them go for $15-$20 a piece f1 at one inch.

 

[JRcichlids]

thanks for reply i will pick them up today

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Sounds good, are you going to house them in a colony set up?

 

[JRcichlids]

yes i will grow them on in a 3ft tank which is around 110litres .

im currently breeding peacocks and some mbuna aswell .

 

[Rivers2k]

Great deal please post pics.

 

[TheCommunityCichlid]

Sounds cool, defiantly pictures. I wouldn't mix them with the peacocks or mbuna if I were you. I'd just set up their own colony tank. They will be much better off this way tropheus like to establish their own hierarchy.

 

[JRcichlids]

yeah they will have there own 200litre tank until i get a bigger one for them . hjow long do you guys think it will take them to get to adult/breeding size ?

 

[JRcichlids]

pictures will be uploaded tonight at some point but they will be in one of my smaller tanks as the big one aint ready yet .

I'm interested to see how they do for you. The latest issue of Amazonas Magazine includes a nice Tropheus feature and we are debating them for a 120 gallon. We would love to see some pics when you get them in your tank.
