Frontosa Tankmates

[kevinjames]

ok ive rehomed some fish recently and one of them was a frontosa ive been told is a female on here previously. heres a pic, its about 5-6 inches:

so its gone in my larger 500litre set up and i was wondering how bad this fish is for eating other fishes. i read its very carnivorous and will go for anything that can get in its mouth. the smallest its in with is adult corys at the moment but eventually i have some denisonnii barbs im growing out that i want to add. can anyone with experience of these lovely fish give me any advice please

I have a 10" male and a 5" female that live with malawis and convicts, some as small as 2cm but they have shown no interest what so ever!

This may just be a friendly pair that I have but I think the trick is to keep them well fed

The one I've got seems very chilled. Never seen him pestering anything. There's soon to be some bristlenose fry so I hope it doesn't get a taste for live food! I don't know weather to get another fronts cos I don't want to upset the harmony.
