Frontosa Burundi tankmates?

Karl K · Apr 22, 2014

I'm starting my 140g up again, and theres gonna be 3 frontosas, 2 females, and 1 male, 1 Synodontis Eupterus, 1 Synodontis Hybrid and 1 Synodontis Unknown, so my question is, what are good tankmates gonna be?
Any suggestions would be good, anything from plecos to cichlids is ok. I'm thinking something noone cichlid, but im not sure, im open to any ideas rightnow.

Anyone?

Tanganika lake is not my speciality, but I believe a nice group of Cyprichromis would be your best bet.
Mid to top swimmers; schooling fish. Work great with frontosa (specially the bigger species in the Cypri genus).

Thanks, ill definetly look into that, im just looking for some none cichlid, mostly. I've also been looking at Midas, but i doubt they would work.

Midas will not work.
Jag issues (see your other thread) x 10

You should get a group of Five-Bar Cichlids - Neolamprologus tretocephalus. They look like mini Frontosas and only grow to about 5-6 inches.

Frontosas are 100% Gonna build the tank up around them. Just gotta find some intererresting tankmates

The fish I posted aren't frontosas

Calvus/Comps work real well, Cyprochromis are a bad idea as they could end up lunch depending on your group of Fronts.
