Started My Mpimbwe colony

[johns]

New Male in My 180 gallon
Yes he is by Himself, The rest of My fronts are to small to be with Him yet I am afraid. Hoping to get a couple of Females for Him in the next couple of weeks.
I am having trouble finding large enough sinking pellets for Him. Can any one suggest a brand, type? And a website to order from.
I bought the tank about 3 weeks ago. it has a under gravel filter plumbed to a ocean clear canister. That is why the gravel looks deep. I added a 2 power heads and an fx5. The under gravel filter is going to go away in stages and turn into a sump eventually.

I feed NLS 3m to mine

Any plans on how many you'll be adding total? Any other stocking plans? Looks great so far

Thanks Bluerusty! Work in progress.
Going to be all Fronts. It is only a 6foot 180 gallon. Like to have 12. But 8 is probably more reasonable.

NLS all day! My fronts love it.

Hay Johns,
I feed my frontosas NLS Thera+A 3mm sinking pellets. I've been feeding them that for years now. I get mine from Bobby (Pharaoh). He sells them for $60 shipped to your door. (pretty cheap price too) PM Pharaoh for more info.
Awesome looking Mpimbwe, good luck finding females though. Most sellers require that you buy males in order to get females.
Keep us updated on the tank....

Can't go wrong ordering from you guys.....
Btw, according to NLS their pellets stay fresher longer than other pellets on the market.

Also forgot to say that $60 shipped is for a 5lb bucket. This is the most cost efficient way to go.

Thanks all!
I am a little troubled about finding a couple of Females. Hoping most of My smaller ones turn out to be Female. (good luck) He was living in a 20 or so gallon tote. My hart bled! And it was a good price.
