TROPHEUS DUBOISI

Tropheus duboisi are striking African cichlids renowned for their bold black and white coloration and dynamic schooling behavior. Native to Lake Tanganyika, these moderately-sized fish thrive in rocky environments with strong water flow and require stable conditions—maintain temperatures between 75-81°F with a pH of 8.5-9.5. They're herbivorous grazers that benefit from algae-based foods and vegetable matter to support digestive health. Best kept in groups of six or more to establish natural hierarchies and reduce aggression. Their territorial nature demands ample rockwork and hiding spaces. Ideal for experienced aquarists seeking an engaging, visually captivating addition to African cichlid setups.
