Hi fellow Troph nutters

[ben]

Hello, I'm Ben I'm 35 yrs old from Manchester UK, I'm a roof by trade and been in the hobby for around 10 years (mainly all male WC hap tanks) until now, I've sold all my haps and bought my 1st group of wild caught sp. Ikola 5M 10F, not managed to breed them as yet but I'm not a great hurry, I've had them for a couple of weeks and intend to add more females to the group in the next month or so, they are slightly out of condition looking a little thin, the importer I use buys direct from the lake side so they've not been out that long, so any advice on getting them into pristine condition and breeding would be  awesome ✌️

Alright mate, howsit going? I have only ever kept F1 & tank raised troph's so I can't inform you on how to condition wild fish but there are people on here who can certainly guide you.
When you get the chance please take a vid of your group & set up and upload it to the site via youtube or some other video hosting site. We'd love to see you groups progress mate.
Welcome to the community old mate!

I'm uploading a short vid now, will post it in Tropheus videos to hopefully start a good progression thread, I'm not going to beat about the bush here people they're not looking their best at the moment.

Welcome to the forum! I believe I got a message from you before sorry I didn't respond. It's been a busy week.

Looking forward to seeing the group.
