Just a word of warning, for my experience Frontosa are a fairly non aggressive and slow moving species, and apt to be bullied by BPs, which are considered aggressive and territorial. My guess is, at some point in the future (probably at maturity) the BPs may destroy the fronts.

You can't keep certain fish from being aggressive, it is in their nature.
My solution over the years has been multiple tanks, and keeping apart cichlids that don't belong together.
Frontosa are from deep areas of Lake Tanganyika where completion is almost non existent, hence their mild mannered ways.
BPs are what they are......
