I originally wanted to keep a group of Benthochromis Horii (Tricoti) with my Pim colony. The males get 9 inches or so and they are real stunners. After reading, I found they truly need to be in at least an 8 foot tank as adults to be happy so I scratched the idea...considering that I only have a 180.
I soon discovered Gnathochromis Permaxillaris are good tank mates with Frontosa and both species leave each other alone. Although they aren't flashy like Benthochromis they are fairly interesting little oddballs.
How many should be kept with a colony of 9-10 Frontosa? Maybe just a pair or a couple...or do they need groups. Please chime in if you have kept some Gnathos...they really seem interesting.
Bathybates seem fairly interesting too; however, maybe a little to manic for Fronts and might disrupt them.
