Hi everyone, I know this may sound kinda silly for asking, but I was wondering, I managed to hear where I can get Tropheus Duboisi cheap, and was considering getting a colony and trying to breed them. What would be better, just buy 15 or so, and see how it goes, or wait till they mature, then buy adults and see if I get a few breeding pairs?

Thanks.

i think to give the duboisi the best breeding chance is to buy them as a young group and allow them to mature together.

I would start with juveniles, about 1 1/2 inchs to 2 inchs. larger ones tend to be aggressive and may be hard to establish.

Depending on how the size of your tank, ideally 10+ is a good sized colony.
