Are you going to leave the fry with the mother or strip them? Or even strip as eggs and use a tumbler? I'm just interested

Probably Leave them with mom intill free swiming. Then i can grow them out in a 40.

hope you don't mind me jumping in on this post, but you seem to know your stuff .
Is a 48x18x24 big enough for a frontosa, and can you keep them them with any malawi's or are they best with just other tangi's. just aquired this tank and was going for malawi`s, but just teasing myself with other stocking options
Advice appreciated angel

That tank would just about be big enough for 1 Front on it's own. Front's should be treated the same way as Oscar's IMO when it comes to tank size as they are big fish reaching around 15". A 5x2x2 is ideal for a small colony.
