frontosa and flowerhorn

[crashinc25]

I'm going with the fronts.

Good choice. I'd suggest Cyphos.com for the Frontosa questions. Man, that's twice in 1 hour. I'm a pusher.
No really, It's all about Fronts like tank examples and a lot of breeders in there. Good Luck

I think you will be very happy with the fronts. They are great fish I have 4 but want to get some more when I move them to a bigger tank.

Ideally you should buy a group (6-8 or more) and then weed out males as they get larger. Is your tank 5 ft or 6 ft? If it's 6 ft, you can have a little larger group. I'd look for a local hobbyist or aquabid considering how expensive they are at most LFS (Burundi are easily $30 each here, I paid less than $10 each for mine from a hobbyist). So that's something to keep in mind. Which variant you choose will also affect cost.

thanks crashinc. i'll check that out.

I thought I was anal about my discus!!! Now I get a whole new type of fish to obsess about. So many choices.....

allierw: My tank is 60" long 18"wide and 24"deep. 6-8 should be good?
Thanks, you answered another of my questions before I even asked it....
The LFS's around here are selling 6 stripe? and 7 stripes for 14.99 each.

now I know 7 stripes are a certain kind, but I've not ran across any mention of 6 stripe.....is that just some generic term?

thanks again
