Sounds like a nice tank in the making!

anyone else?

I know in the end i will have to move the frontosa to there own tank. but when that happens could i introduce Tropheous?

If you do get fronts make sure to try and find Mpimbwes for this reason. Regular fronts like to hover in one spot and only eat food that sinks *good to avoid float*. Mpimbwes are very active and swim around alot. I would prefer in my tank to see motion rather than 10 stationary fish.

I have hear that they blue variety grow slower then the rest

All fronts are blue, Tropheus are not great fish to put in a community tank. I would stay away from mixing with them.

 

[andy1985]

Is it true that mpimbwes are more active then other fronts?

 

[mike dunagan]

I believe they are
