Breeding of aquarium fish is my hobby from my childhood, when I started with fish easy to keep but also I used to keep the more difficult fish species even though the choice was not too big. Until the early 90's, I discovered and took the first cichlids from African lakes and remained faithful to them to the present. Tropheus were among the first species I kept and they really enchanted me so that they have never disappeared from my aquariums. On the contrary, their number is increasing. |
