I was really excited now I am a little concerned. I have to leave in about an hour and a half to go pick them up. There are going into My established 180 gallon. 2 fx5's With a total of 4 trays of media, 2 added today, 2 power heads and a under gravel filter pumped through a ocean clear canister. Current occupants are as follows;
One 11" plus male
One 6" suspect female
Two 3" juveniles
4 small clown loaches
Water parameters are good, water change was done 2 days ago.
I will rearrange the few decorations right before I add them. any thing else I should do?
BTW 2 males and 4 females purchased.
Thank You all for looking. Pictures will be posted.

Hey congrats on your new fronts! But one thing, I don't know how thats a breeding colony of fronts when they only sold you one 11"inch male and a 6"female! The other 3" fronts they sold you are not even close to being sexually matured and no way they have been vented yet with that size. and fronts don't pair off when they breed, they colony breeders... Try looking into getting a couple more bigger females and with that seize tank and your filtration you should be more them fine!

The fish I listed are what I already had in the tank. The new females are larger well over 6 inches. There are 10 fronts in the tank now. 2 11 inch males, btw, not working out so good. Think I need to get rid of a alpha Male.
