Frontosa with featherfins?

[atanger]

Is this a good mix, I have 3 frontosas and am in the market for a 7-8' long tank. I would like to have Tang. community tank with my 3 fronts. B. Tricotis work with Fronts, would a colony of Foai?

Suggestions and recs. are much appreciated.

I can't imagine that either of those fish would really beat up on each other in a tank that large. The only problem I could really see is trying to breed the Foai, they're going to want tons of open space (and tons of sand) in the tank to build their nests, while the Fronts are going to want a bunch of rock. Maybe you could solve that by having a huge open area in the middle of the tank with tall walls of rocks on the back and cascading rock on either side?

Either way, it'd be a pretty sweet tank .

get more female fronts, Fronts should be kept in a larger group.
Then get a couple fish to add if you like.
Large Calvus, large clown loaches I have even seen Nics work too.
I say large because Calvus and cl grown slower than Fronts. Calvus grow painfully slow.

Thanks for your input E and sol, I do have experience with Alto. comps . and really enjoy them with fronts, and definetly would like to get my hands on some female Kapampa. I am trying to get a tank that's 30" wide for the Featherfins to hang out in the middle, with a long fairly wide tank I hope that this can create a cohesive environment for some lare Tangs.
