Frontosa Tankmates

[Chilumba]

What are some good small, medium and large tankmates from lake tanganyika for a group of large frontosa's? Thanks

i have african cichlids with mines haha =)

blue mooriis (dolphin cichlid), alto. compressiceps, or calvus. Comps and calvus grow much much slower than fronts though.

I'd go with altolamps, although I've seen people keep them for years with some of the common lamps as well (leleupi, even tetracnathus)

TRETOCEPHALUS,CALVUS, MY FRONTS LOVE THE TROPHEUS, LEILUPEI

correction: I meant tretocephalus, not tetracanthus

 

[Muske]

Both from above will work + sexfasciaatus
Alto. Calvus and Comp.
Larger Lepidolamp.
I've even seen brichardi hold there ground.
Ophthalmotilapia will stay in the upper water column.
Petrochromis sp., but different diet.
Syno. multipuntatus

Dithers:
Rainbows, no praecox though.
Larger barbs
plecos.

Will Synodontis petricola be ok with Fronts?

How About a Buffalo Head - Steatocranus?

Petro's shold be fine.

Buffalo Head might get nervous and chased by the Fronts.
