My lfs had 3 1-1.5" fronts out of a group of 6. 2 of them succumbed to ich .
Now it's only 1 left . It's in there with some senegals and other small fish in a 10g .
My friend wanted it for his tank but I think it'll get skittish being solo in such a large tank ( 55g for now )
So I suggested him to maybe add some other less aggressive cichlids or some dithers.
I warned him against other mbuna and haps as the ones available are larger and would harass the frontosa imo.
What do you guys recommend ?
Maybe some neon Blue acara or firemouth or severums .
Or should I tell him to get some larger tall tetras like the lemons , skirt , Buenos Aires etc?
The well Water is neutral at about 6.9-7.2 it fluctuates seasonally .
The tankmates will be replaced as they grow . His main motive is to grow the frontosa.
