Alright its been 3 months i am keeping frontosas.
They are now between the range of 3-3.8 inches.
Problem is this for the past 2 weeks i see there is very less intrest in eating.
Just like in kids u gave a glass of milk and sometimes he drink sometimes he throw it.When i dont fed them for 1 day the next they run for food and eat it.
but very less.I use to keep SA cichlids before like Gts, oscars,texas they were like always hungry for food, on the other had fronts are like. "If u give food its ok and even if u wont give then also its ok".
I feed them a varied diet small dried shrimps,green peas,tetrabits,hikari biogold and friezed dried blood worms.
PS.. I soak the shrimps and blood worms in boil water before feeding they settle down in water then i feed them..

What should i do so that they drool for food.
 
how often do you feed?
in my african tank, i can get away with once every 2 days, and sometimes once a day.
If i feed to frequently the food just sinks to the bottom and they all ignore it.

I guess i just wait until they show me they want it.

My tank is however pretty much fully grown fish so I dk how that may play a role since your fronts still got some space to fill in
 
Well, it seems like i should also decrease the frequency of feeding currently i feed them thrice a day.And sometimes i see them eating behind my back..
