Frontosa tank mates?

[Tramonte172]

I have a big male Front in a 125 by himself. He has been there since November. I do not know a lot about african cichlids. What can I safely put in with him?

Here he is.

I say,since hes been by himself,it maybe hard to get him smaller tank mates now,how big is your Frontosa?

 

[EVOLTNVII]

if hes been alone a while small enough tankmates might dissapear as if by magic

Best tank mates with fronts are more fronts, as in more the 4

I have a Frontosa colony in a 220 (x11). Their tank mates include Neolamprologus Leleupi (x2), Neolamprologus Brichardi (x6), Synodontis Petricola (x1), Synodontis Eruptus (x2), Altolamprologus Compressiceps Mwela Orange (x2), and BSN Plecos (x5).

I have seen them kept with Peacocks and Haps of equal size. If they are bigger, I have seen them with mbuna as well. I am not sure of the impact after being alone for so long as I got my colony by purchasing 3 groups within a few weeks of each other when 1"-2".
