What are the types of Tropheus you are planning to mix together? and how many of each?

Personally I wouldn't mix. Theres the chance of cross-breeding and also one group being more dominant over the other.

Hmmmmm....

I would not mix more then two groups together if you were. There is more chance of interbreeding if you have two of the same types together i.e a Moorii with another Moorii type, therefore I wouldn't mix the Lupota and Firecrackers together.

Any combination except that one you may be able to get away with. I have never tried mixing different species so by all means give it a try and see what happens but it just things like that you have got to look out for.

Hope I've helped in some way.
