Default Tropheus Mixed Tank

Dear all, please advise me on this.

I intend to do a tropheus mixed species tank with duboisi, polli, moorii

What you guys think? and the tank size?

No issue at all if you mix tropheus, in fact with a larger overall group size, aggression will be reduced. It is really up to personal preference, some prefer more colour, some want uniformity.

The only thing you want to look out for is cross breeding which has been known to occur even between different tropheus types (e.g. duboisi and moorii etc.)

A minimum size of 4 foot is often recommended, but what matters more to the success colony from my experience is colony size, good quality food and regular water changes.

looking better with each rescape.
next time, try using rocks of same colour gradient and texture in the same rockpile. per tank just one type or 2types can already.
and pile them in a big pile, rather then a linear pile at the back of the tank to get a more 3D natural looks. but again, scaping is all up to individual preference. as long as you like it, it's good
