Looks nice. I have a Burundi colony myself in a 220.

How much do you know about the Red variant? I have heard various stories about them being everything from a collection point variant, line-bred, to injected with hormones. I prefer the regular coloration and believe it looks much more vibrant.
 
Looks good but you will eventualy need a bigger tank also have heatd fronts prefer a poorly lit tank. A poor lit tank though is more for breeding though and you are a ways from that yet. The red variation from what I read was from line breeding and they usually are a brown more than red.You don't see them much any more so anice find.

thanks sir. il be replacing this 4 feet light tubes with LED lights. il just update if the Led wil arrive.
 
the reds are a cross hybreed as i used to breed fronties of all types i wish i had not at the time but i was aiming for pure line breed fish i feed them to my cichla they actully grow out not bad but have all sorts of health issues

if you plan on breeding your fish seperate them
