An excellent Tropheus compagnon, Simochromis babaulti (Pellegrin 1927)

Excellent Article Klaus!!! This is a fish that I had not looked into before now but you have interested me. Thanks for sharing!!!

oo kool, i heard of that name but never seen any pics. Like mike, now im interested in them! they look really kool!

They are a very hansome fish and contrast well with the Tropheus. While I'm not real keen on mixing lake species how do you think they would do with Mbuna?

Oh I think they will do fine, they stand up to the Tropheus. It's just.....well such a beautiful tank and Malawi cichlids?

Hats off for posting articles.

Klaus thanks for taking the time to post these articles. When do we get some Malawi based ones or are you trying to convert everyone to tangs, lol.

Well Chris, it's a beginning!!!!!

Another good compagnon to Tropheus is Eretmodus and Tanganicodus. I´ve read that they work perfectly with Tropheus in forums, and it´s a cool fish.
Here is some pics.
