Frontosa Stocking, How much is to much?

[Wulfonce]

I may be purchasing some Blue Zaire Frontosa sometime after Christmas. How many could I realistically have in a 125g tank? (72" long)

Would 7 be to many?

 

[Fish on Fire]

7 is fine.

How many could I have? I was originally thinking 10 but thats probably overkill right?

How big are the front's? I, personally, would get 20-30 @ 2"-3" for a 125gal with a good filtration system.

You could do 10 if u had a Fx5 and a Uv filter.
I have 3 in my 180g with a stack of other ciclids

I'm running an Fx5 and have two Penguin 350's as backups, should I need them.

20-30!

Am I missing something here? Do they grow extreamly slowly or something?

I'm buying Blue Zaire Fronts at 1.5"-2"

Yep, get your pairs and form a colony and bump the rest.
