Do you keep Tropheus? What variants? What setup & tankmates?

Do you currently keep Tropheus? If so, what variants? And what tank size and tank mates?

Here's what I keep...

Tropheus MOORII NKONDE -> 16 fishes [unknown M/F ratio] -> 150-gallon [48" x 24" footprint] --> Tankmates: Tanganicodus Irsacae, Panaque Nigrolineatus

Tropheus MOORII NSUMBU -> 12 fishes [unknown M/F ratio] -> 55-gallon [48" x 12" footprint] --> Tankmates: Synodontis Petricola

And now, someone else can take their turn! :)
 
Tropheus moorii "Kaiser I Ikola". 50 gallon tank, 7 adults and about 10 juveniles. The only tankmates are 10 Synodontis petricola. I have tried mixing the T. moorii with other Tanganyikans ([/i]N. brichardi, J. marlieri, N. moorii, N. leleupi[/i]) in 240g and 280g Tanganyikan community tanks, and they did not do well, which is how they wound up in their own species tank.
