9" IT with 3" Frontosa?

[BRYANT]

When the indo was 7" it ate about 10x 3-4" clown loaaches overnite. Frontosas are shaped differently will it still try to eat it? It's 9" now so bigger as well

It'll attempt to... mix it when the frontosa is 5''

Think that particular indo is a quite a terror, so I wouldn't do it.
However, I did have 4 nr 3 inch fronts, with my tigers for 8 months, b4 I sold them, no probs

I see what you mean Ade. I usually feed every other day but mostly twice a week and stuff them up til they can't eat anymore. The hunger strikes may be tempting for the indo though

 

[FunWow!]

If the body around is bigger than the Indos mouth around then you should be good but like all other dats if there mouth isnt big enough they arent going to bother.

I know what you're saying bro. Dats killed a 7-8" african aro few months back. If they can't eat it they harrass it to death

Dats and fronts dont go well together. In fact, i will not mix dats with other fish except for a few exceptions

I've mixed dats with almost everything. Just make sure both don't fit inthe other's mouth. So what do you mix your dats with?

 

[FunWow!]

Damn if that Indo killed that aro it must just be a mean aro. If hes killing other fish. Ive never had a dat kill another fish it wasnt trying to dat. But ive mixed them with alot of other fish myself.

I traded my small fronts for 1 zaire blue frontosa 8 inch. This gets on well and typically both tigers and front share tank displaying typical behaviour of semi aggressive tank community, I.e on a daily basis, there is chasing, square up to each other, front will flare it's mouth wide open and tiger will go super stable as they both display. The front does this to most of my bigger tigers. Had the z. Blue for about 6 months now.
Neither tigers or front showed any signs of physical damage.
In my experience they do get on ... So far
