Hi ! This is probably my first post in maybe 10 years of knowing MFK.... is anyone keeping leleupi as well as brichardi colonies in the same tank ?

Really want to keep them in a 90 gal tank, with some Frontosas.

The Frontosas are gentle giants and yet they do feed on smaller fish but I hope they leave the smaller ones alone.
I am a bit sceptical about the leleupi and brichardi housing and breeding together.

.....so are there any incidence of predation in a tank by a frontosa group?
Is it the rule to feed them every other day or so?

I used to keep frontosas with paracyprichromis nigripinnis. It worked fine for quite a few years. Then one day, the nigripinnis started to disappear. Eventually the frontosas ate them all.
