Remarks: Tropheus are obligate herbivores, and even small amounts of protein can induce bloating conditions. They form social hierarchies and should be kept in large groups. The Ilangi variant is a naturally occurring hybrid between Tropheus moorii and Tropheus sp. Red, which itself has a variant called the "Firecracker."
