Tropheus spec. aff. moorii "Ikola"
Tropheus spec. aff. moorii "Ikola" is also known as "Kaiser Moorii".
The color is varying, depending on their mood and age. In the middle of their
body a wide yellow band stretches, whilst head and tail remain almost black.
Their habitat is located at the east coast of lake Tanganjika near a village
called "Ikola". My group is relatively aggressive with two males
having divided the tank between them and having occupied the two major rocks.
Currently 5 juveniles and 12 adults are in the tank.
Tropheus Duboisi "Karilani"
Tropheus
Duboisi "Karilani", are one of 4 different variations of the Duboisi
line. They are located on the Karilani island in at the east cost of lake
Tanganjika. They can easily be identified through their very thin white band compared
to Duboisi "Maswa" or "Kigoma". They are much less aggressive
than Tropheus moorii and seem also be more resistant to changes of water or
other environmental parameters. I purchased the group of 12 from a Belgian
tropheus fan and discovered later that 2 of them showed deformations in the
eye region. One has only got one left eye, where the other has got a very
small right eye. Besides that they are always with the group and show no signs
of suffering.
