front colony

[cansat]

what is the minimiun desired quantity for frontosa? general rule, regradless of tank size etc... or is more always better?

minimum is a trio. 1 male and 2 female. Then you add more females and males up to whatever your tank can hold.

I think tank size will determine the amt./ratio of fish. I've seen 1:7, but also a successful 3:6 ratio. One dom. Alpha male and a couple of subs.

could you just have male and female and have them breed?

sure it is possible, but I have not seen it myself. I have seen it tried, female hid all the time, and got picked on...
