Name: Tropheus Duboisi
Max Size: Tropheus Duboisi can grow up to 4-5 inches in length, making them a medium-sized cichlid species.
Water Parameters: Tropheus Duboisi prefer alkaline water conditions with a pH range of 7.8-9.0. They thrive in warm water with a temperature between 76-82Β°F.
Diet: Tropheus Duboisi are herbivorous and primarily feed on algae and plant matter. Provide them with a diet rich in vegetable-based foods such as spirulina flakes, algae wafers, and blanched vegetables like spinach and zucchini. Avoid feeding them high-protein or meaty foods.
Temperament: Tropheus Duboisi are known for their territorial and aggressive behavior, especially during breeding. They should be kept in a species-specific tank or with other robust, similarly sized cichlids from Lake Tanganyika to minimize aggression.
Tank Setup: Provide a spacious aquarium with plenty of rocky hiding places and caves to replicate their natural rocky habitat. Use a sandy substrate to mimic their native environment. Adequate filtration and regular water changes are necessary to maintain excellent water quality.
Compatibility: Tropheus Duboisi should be kept with other Lake Tanganyika cichlids, preferably those from the same genus, to avoid interbreeding and hybridization. Avoid keeping them with small or peaceful fish that may become targets of aggression.
Behavior: Tropheus Duboisi are known for their vibrant coloration and distinct social behavior. They form hierarchies within their groups, and dominant males display intense coloration to establish their status. They are active and energetic swimmers, constantly patrolling their territory.
Fun Fact: Tropheus Duboisi are endemic to Lake Tanganyika in East Africa and are highly sought after by cichlid enthusiasts for their unique coloration and intriguing social dynamics. They are known for their "dithering" behavior, where they rapidly shake their bodies to communicate and assert dominance within the group.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iβve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
