Just thought I would share my new wild tropheus group :)

They are sp. Red "lupota" ... most are 4 to 5 inches :)

Horrible shots ( I didn't use any of the tricks Bobby taught me lol ) .... just some quicky shots :blush:

Love that cherry red :D

How many in the group Sarah? Oh, and I got dibs on the first twenty juvies you are ready to sell. :rolleyes: I'll probably be rid of all the peacocks and haps by then and have another 120g ready for them. :lol:

Wish I could compliment you on your "fine pix". :p God knows I try to help those with cameras take better photographs :angel2: But some folks just don't have the patience :smashfreakB: :lol:

lol Bobby... they really sux don't they :D I quickly shot these... and well they came out like poop ! I guess I need to pick up the camera a bit more often :spanka:

I got this group as a proven breeding group ( I have the fry too ).... 17 in total ( 13 wilds). Julie needed to the tank space... so I quickly snatched these up, seeing that they are pretty rare in the hobby since african diving stopped exporting. They are old... been in the states for a bout 3 years and wild... so I'm going to say at least 5 years?

I also took home her "moliro" breeding group with 6 of the fry. Different tank of course ;)
