Can anyone tell me why is it that Frontosa are so expensive?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
o yea 1 may not work brother i didnt pay that any attention big or small he is gonna get nipped up
 
Where are you at in Colorado? One of the LFS in Greeley has F1 fronts (can't remember which variety) for $12 ea, but they're only like 2".

I recently put a front in my 125 and one of the oscars bugged it a little at first, but is leaving it alone now. The fish had a couple tears in the dorsal fin, but they are even healing up already and it hasn't even been in there a week, so that's a good sign that its not getting picked on and is settling in. Hopefully, mine will grow fast enough.

I am also growing up some SA/CA cichlids right now that will go in there also. Obviously not all of them, but the more community-safe ones. The Midas might pose a problem. I had one in with some Africans and I had to remove it.

as u can see from my pics i have the midas in with my fronts and i think the trick is to put a few midas in for some reason they fight among each other more so than my fronts they kind of shy away from my fronts big or small 9x out of ten but the alpha front starts a face off with the midas all of the time

I live in Phoenix, I also have a midas/red devil, Ive thought about getting another one but ive been told that they would fight pretty badly.
 
oh, ur profile says CO, sorry. i'm not sure what I would do if i were you. a lot depends on the temperament of your midas. if you really want fronts and another midas, i say try it and monitor very closely. small ones probably won't work, though. good luck.
