Frontosa

Anyone else here in love with them? I have eight of them, 6 kigoma 7 bars and 2 6 bars that I adopted from my neighbor. They are most definately my favs of all my fish....although I think the 6's are actually screwed up 7 bars cuz they have the same blue that the 7's do and I heard that 6's are only supposed to be white and black, not blue and black. Doesn't really matter to me cuz I love them all the same....little puppies!

They are beautiful fish. I love the Tanganyikans.

Those are some brutes too, what size tank do you have?

Right now I have them in a 50 (8) of them.......They are all babies though.....max 5 inches.......I am getting them a new home soon.

Make sure you don't have more than 1 male as the dominate male will kill all other male fronts no matter the tank size.

Thanks for the startling info.

NP. Other than with other male fronts they are pussycats IME. Other male fish should be ok if a differing species.

Even if I did have more than one male.....I would just start another tank of them. 2 frontosa tanks couldn't be wrong!
