I really love them all.. but here are some fighting fronts. And by tommorrow i have decide which two should go.. three are fighting with each other... doesn't make it easy to choose.. who would you choose to go or stay..:( if these were all males with no females would they still fight because i think theres only one female in the tank.. maybe i should let her go....

maybe the males are fighting for the female...maybe if you take the female out it would calm down but it might not...one idea is to leave one male and one female...just ideas...maybe if you can get more females it could work out?

i don't care about the breeding.. i just feel bad giving up the fish i raised.. so i was hoping they were like the malawi...with out the females and then it would be all male tank.. but if that won't work then i will proceed to let the two males go.. i don't want to get anymore.. they are getting pretty big now and i am running out of space..lol
 
i hope the all male thing works...i also hate letting fish go...i was shooting for an all male african tank for the same reason...then i found babies in the tank

They need to be in a colony for best results..grow very slow...they hide alot..and are skittish... and need eventually a very large tank since they can grow to 16 inches... of course that takes years..
 
ya in my tanks they would be eatten now but maybe in my new fish room i could figure something out...about 2 months ago i saw some 3" for $12 at my lfs...

I think you should get rid of all the frontosas but the Kigoma male (the 7 stripes one) and get yourself a few more females for him.
i do love him the best...
