I am thinking of getting tropheus illangi or tropheus red chimba...

Anyone know which is more sought after ?
Anyone have any experience with either?

Cheers

[Westie]

Illangi are my favourite looking tropheus from what I have seen in shops. I've never kept tropheus though...... I remember Aquotix having adult Illangi for a really good price, but that was a year ago from memory?

[Mattymak]

Yeah they're really nice..

I can get both of them for the same price from friends haha but I don't know which hmm...

Ilangi look great when showing bright. Can look alot like moliro when they are dark/not great quality.I constantly battled to get my old colony showing that nice yellow/red and purple.i would go for nice ikola or dubosi as they always show true.

[Mattymak]

Yeh I would love duboisi or ikola. But I can't get them 10 for the price i Can these haha

[Bermont]

you want to get a minimum of 15-20 for a colony or you risk too much fighting and injury

[Mattymak]

I kept a successful colony of 8 before...

Definitely more the merrier with tropheus, though I know a guy with only half a dozen dub's that seem to go ok.  

[Mattymak]

Yeh I know the more the merrier but still 10 should be fine

[Bermont]

dubs are fine as they arent very boisterous but illangi and most the other moorii are quite aggressive

[Dr Cucumber]

I still think good quality red rainbows are stunning. ..

[Mattymak]

Yeah I am still undecided tanks waiting haha
