I bought a tropheus sp. red moliro for my LFS but when i looke him up on the internet it does not look red, he has no red at all can anyone tell me what other type he might be , or do the males only have the red on them. any help would be good as i need to buy him a couple of friends.
cheers lee :roll:
maybe a photo of the fish would help, It could still be a moliro, juvenilles have a stripped pattern to them like this -

Where the adults are a real red (sometimes, not all are good qaulity)

Yes he does look like them THANK YOU FOR THE PHOTOS, NOW DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP THEM IN COLONIES OF 10 OR MORE, what other fish can you put them with. I bought 2 form the LFS but the next day he was dead, by the time we got home he didn't look to well so put him in a tank of his own by died. What am I expected to pay for these fish and does anyone have any for sale.
cheers lee
