I would not recommend any Tropheus species to someone relatively new to caring for african cichlids. Their dietary and water parameter needs are strict as tropheus species will get the "bloat" at the drop of a hat. A great website for cichlid questions is Cichlidforum.com. Plenty of cichlid experts over there that will answer any questions you may have.
