About the Tropheus Moliro

Name: Tropheus Moliro

Max Size: Tropheus Moliro can reach a size of about 4-5 inches in length.

Water Parameters: Tropheus Moliro prefer water conditions with a pH ranging from 7.8 to 9.0 and a temperature between 76Β°F and 82Β°F. They are native to Lake Tanganyika, which has alkaline and hard water conditions, so maintaining water parameters similar to their natural habitat is important.

Diet: Tropheus Moliro are herbivorous fish and primarily feed on algae and vegetable matter in the wild. In the aquarium, their diet should consist of high-quality vegetable-based flakes, pellets, and spirulina-based foods. Supplement their diet with blanched vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, and peas.

Temperament: Tropheus Moliro are known for their aggressive nature, especially towards members of the same species. They are best kept in species-only tanks or with other robust and aggressive African cichlids. Avoid mixing them with more peaceful or timid fish.

Tank Setup: Provide a spacious aquarium with plenty of rocks, caves, and hiding places to create territories and break lines of sight. Tropheus Moliro appreciate a sandy substrate, as they like to sift through it in search of food. Adequate filtration and regular water changes are crucial to maintain good water quality.

Compatibility: Tropheus Moliro should only be kept with other aggressive fish species that can handle their territorial behavior. Mixing them with peaceful fish can lead to stress, aggression, and potential harm to the other tank mates.

Behavior: Tropheus Moliro are highly territorial and form social hierarchies within their groups. They are active swimmers and spend most of their time near the rocks, where they establish and defend their territories. They display vibrant coloration, with males often exhibiting brighter hues to attract females.

Fun Fact: Tropheus Moliro are known for their beautiful coloration and unique patterns, which can vary among individuals. Their aggression and territorial nature make them fascinating to observe as they establish and defend their territories within the aquarium. Keeping a well-maintained and properly stocked Tropheus Moliro tank can create a captivating display of their natural behaviors.

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) I’ve 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.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

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.
