I was just over a fellow hobbyist's house and he had multiple Feather Fins and Frontosa in a 155 bow front with a pair of Tricoti. His Tricoti were the most active I have ever seen. I think I want to buy a trio or pair and put them in a 130 with a group of 6 Nasuta, 11 Microlepidotus Kigoma, a pair of Gnathachromis Permaxilaris and a pair of Gold Head Comps.

Here's what I want to know:

Is anyone now keeping them and if so would you like to sell them :smilewinkgrin:?

What are everyone's experiences with them and did they breed for you?

Also what did you keep them with?

I really don't care if they breed but I would like the male to color up for me.
:beerchug: Thanks

I have WC Bentho Tricoti right now that I would sell. They have great color and I have them in a species only tank.

They have not bred for me yet and I heard it is difficult, but my male does dance for the females.

How many would you be willing to part with. I may be willing to take four off your hands (2m,2f) depending on size. I am located in Harrisburg, PA
