Gav Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 i have tropehops "chilumba", never heard of them being referred to as mphanga rocks. are all the tropeops from chilumba the same? or is this something different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I think that Tropheops sp. 'chilumba' group can be found in a number of location in the lake. Mphanga Rock is just one of the locations and others include Mdoka, Cherwere, Katale Island, Chitande Island and Chriwa Island as well as Maison Reef. Of the these locations the Mphanga Rock variant IMO is the more attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Miller Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hi Gav, As Ged said, there are a few variants of the chilumba - and they look significantly different. I have the Mphanga variant but I don't know if there are any other variants in Oz. Tropheops sp. "Chilumba" (Mphanga) is the full title as far as I can ascertain. Cheers, Lee.

Ged Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I also meant to say that Mphanga variant is the only one that I have seen. I know that Auburn had them at one stage but that doesn't help Arj out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saudukar Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 There was a fish going around with the trade name Tropheops sp. "Black" a couple of years ago. Is this a different subspecies or would the likelyhood be that it was chilumba? How many different common subs of Tropheops are around at the moment? Sorry to take this a little offtopic.
