Hey guys,
been lurking for a while now figured i'd sign up and get active. don't know what else to say but hey, i'm matt. i'm in the process of creating my tropheus tank .

i had a couple of questions in regards to the club.
first of all, do i need to attend a meeting with someone who is already a member? i ask because i don't know any members yet.
secondly, what is a ticket so to speak going to cost me to attend a meeting?

thanks for reading.

Hi matt, welcome to PCS.

Tropheus, nice choice. What species in particular, or a few of each as a display?

Meetings are free mate, and all you have to rock up there
Everyones friendly there and you'll be made most welcome.

Hope to see you there.

That's a good question. We have 15 assorted. There juvenile's at about 2.5cm no colour just yet. And I am unable to identify them. I've kind of taken pity on them as I know there not going to sell at that size with no color visible. I have the spare tank at home so I figured why not ill take the lot and set up a display with luck of the draw.
As they grow and colour up expect a few identification post haha.
Yeah I'll be at the meeting on tuesday. Looking forward to learning a bit

Welcome to the forum look forward to meeting you at a meeting soon!!
Chuck up some pics of your fish Ill have a go at identifying them for you as lots of tropheus can be identified from a very young age.

well i was at the meeting tonight if i met anyone .
as for the tropheus, maybe in a week or two as i start to get some color mate. at the moment one has a fleck of red in it's fins. one appears to be showing some yellow on the body. and looking at the tank when i got home tonight. some seems to be striping up a little. there averaging 2.5cm at the moment and i'm having fun guessing

It was good meeting you tonight, can't wait to see some pics of the tropheus!

[choombies]

Nice meeting you Matt sorry we didnt get more time to chat!

[Nyghtfire]

Definetly great to meet everyone and there's always another meeting to talk to everyone.
Pics of the trophs will come when they start to show colour.

[choombies]

The suspense is killing me!!

[Nyghtfire]

I'll do it on Friday. Noticing more and more colour each day and I reckon by then they should be possible to identify.

[dazzabozza]

My bet is Ikola.

[Nyghtfire]

A few appear to be showing some yellow so might be a safe bet

Great to meet with you Matt and have a chat about fish. Hopefully we see you again at the meets but I'll make an effort to drop in and say hello at your work

Rockingham needs a new tropheus nutter

[Mattymak]

welcome mate, enjoy

that eye pic is freaky haha

[Nyghtfire]

Yeah I've fallen in love with the tropheus but I am hesitant about keeping them stocked at work. Just because I'm not in everyday and they require a bit more knowledge then your average fish with there particular diets and there susceptiblity to bloat. Besides still learning myself but on the other hand if I knew everything about fish I'd be wanting a higher salary.
I swear there showing more colour and personality everyday haha.

If you do come into my work feel free to pick holes in anything. Can always use some knowledgeable advice . Finding and charging the camera tonight should have pictures tommorow if I get the time.
