I have no clue about frontosas. But imho for juvenile fish the bellies should never look concave. This can indicate a health problem or simply mean not enough food, which in itself will harm the fish in the long run.

Not a Frontosa expert but I would say you need to wait a bit long until they begin to mature. Where did you buy them from? Usually if you get fish from good breeders then they will be of good quality.

I agree with the above, you need to fatten them up a bit. I find it is easier on the juveniles to separate them from larger fish in order to get them enough food, then throw them in with the big ones when they're around 3 inches.

yes I know they need feeding up they came with some other fish I got off gumtree they were all a bit thin to be honest. I've also just just dosed the tank for internal paracites and worms
