Breeding.

I know i've posted something like this before but with my new tank, i will have an empty one and i cant really decide on what to put in it.

At first I decided on dats,clown loaches, 2 royal plecos. But than i was thinking a display tank of either discuss or a group of frontosa.

But I cant make up my mind, How would you set up a display tank in your house, and what would you stock it with?

Thanks

I set them all up as display tanks... SO i guess it depends on what you consider a display tank MY breedin cons are in my shed but the tank is planted and excellent display

A big colony of fronts really is awesome to watch

Big group of wild caught moba fronts would look great, and if they breed, you will have an easy time selling the young.

I saw a front tank and was like I would really like to do a front tank, but to get fronts down in florida is hard. There is one guy near me who has fronts for 19.99 they are 2" and i dont know what kind.

What do fronts eat, and can they be kept with 2 widebar dats?
i've heared they are very slow growers?

 

[rallysman]

They eat pellets, veggies, and somtimes krill among others. I've come to the conclusion that the best tank mates for frontosas is other frontosas.

Hmm, kk. I will just have to put my 2 widebars in my 75gallon with there clown loach friends.

How long does it take for fronts to get a decent size? and i have a 29gallon tank cycled with lots of pots should i grow like 5-6 out in that or should i just find some large guys.
