Tropheus Black - Bemba Red 8-11cm

Tropheus are among the most interesting and active of all African Cichlids. They are also unlike all other Lake Tanganyika cichlids. They can be highly aggressive, especially toward conspecifics, but this is not a given. Aggressiveness can be an individual trait among these fish, and it definitely is influenced in the aquarium by variables such as size, tank structure, and species mix.

Tropheus of the „black“ group is characterized by black or black-brown basic color with the bright band of the various width and color. This Tropheus is referred to as the Bemba Red.  The continual breeding in the aquariums causes the variability in the bandwidth.

Aquarium groups of Tropheus are very impressive to even the casual observer because of their usually gorgeous appearance and their hyperactivity. They are voracious feeders which will let little food reach tank mates.

To help prevent harassment of weaker individuals, Tropheus are better kept in groups of five or more--depending upon the size of the aquarium. Known for the gorgeous various colored band on the back flank of both sexes and a red upper eye iris, the remainder of the body is dark black with a silver or bluish sheen depending on their mood.

DOA Policy for Live Fish shipping

At Aquaholics, we place utmost importance on the careful shipping of live fish to ensure their safe arrival. Our commitment to quality includes taking various measures during transit. Each fish bag is infused with medical-grade oxygen and an ammonia-neutralizing solution. In colder periods, we also utilize heat packs to maintain optimal temperatures. However, we understand that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes lead to unfortunate outcomes. To provide you with peace of mind, we have implemented a Dead-on Arrival (DOA) policy that ensures you are covered in such situations.

Procedure:

  1. Owner's Presence: It is essential for the owner or an authorised representative to be available at the provided shipping address to receive the fish. If no one is available, the courier will leave your parcel in a safe space as all fish orders are shipped ATL.
  2. Shipping Address: Please provide a valid street address for shipping. Ensure the address is accurate and complete to avoid any delivery issues.

  5. Shipping Costs: Please note that shipping costs are non-refundable unless the entire order is considered a DOA.
