I know this is a question - but I should take decision as soon as possible because I have a chance to get a male of Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus - and that is why I set this topic as urgent. I hope you don't mind.

So I have a chance to get a young male of Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus - which I really like - and I would like to introduce him with my Frontosa Mpimbwe colony.
I would really apprechiate if anyone have experience introducing only a male of any Nimbochromis to his Frontosa colony - Please tell me your experience.

What experience do you have keeping any Nimbochromis with Frontosa's?
Would I experience any problem introducing just a male of Nimbochromis to my existing Frontosa colony?
Would this work or is it a bad idea?
 
I would say NO WAY. I had experience with an male 8" and 3.5" N. Fusco in an all male/peacock 220G tank. My tank has a couple 10-12" malawi predators in there as well. The 8" Fusco was harassing all of them non stop. He was particularly always fighting with my 10" D. Kwinge. The 3.5" was also very aggressive, fighting with all the peacocks. I had to get rid of both of them. In my experience the Fusco is the one of the most aggressive haps out there. The fronts wouldn't stand a chance.
