Default Just a couple of wild caught Moba

Searched for a few months and finally found a couple for sale at a farm along Sungei Tengah.

Noticed my Tropheus are very agressive against them and keep biting their anal fins. Should I remove them?

what's the sizes? looks small for WCs.. but looks decent, groom them well can send me the location and pricing? thanks!
troppheus and small fishes will tend to nibble at their anal fins and trailers. if you want the fronts to grow long beautiful trailers, no choice, you got to remove those little ones and in your case, the tropheus..

I see they are fighting back against the Tropheus! Will monitor for a while to decide on the Tropheus' fate...

After turning into Sungei Tengah in the direction of Rainbow, the first farm on the left. First time there...just trying my luck and found the last 2 piece!

Nice fishes, thanks for sharing!

Yea...tropheus are nasty and too restless....they nib at most fishes filaments/fins and they are swim around all the time. Hence most people prefer put them in a tank of their own as their bad habits and restlessness may stress some fishes.

Went to another farm near qianhu and found another new batch of WC Moba.
Due to budget constraints, only tabao the smallest 3 pieces to my collection. Nice and peaceful comm of 5 Moba + 2 small Burundi now.
