I have talked to a few people, but I want more opinions. I have a 135 that I have setup it is 18 inches deep... My fronts are 4 inches, and 2 inches... Do you think that this 72 inches long 24 tall, 18 deep will be big enough for my guys????????
stocking for fronts

That is part of it as well... Right now I have 3 that are 3-4 inches, getting another close to that... and 3 1-2 inchers that I am going to add when they get just a little bit bigger... I know it will be a long time before they are big
7 total. they will be fine for quite a while. id suggest bigger in the long run. i got 6 in my 150 and i plan on getting something 200+ probably 5 years or so from now. if all you have is the 7 fronts. you might be able to keep them in there forever. your not going to be overstocked but just crowded. remember fronts like lots of swimming room in the wild. your filtration and cleaning habits are also in question. if you are good on your cleaning and filtration, you're ok, but if you are slacking in those departments, they wont do well.
so you think that I would be able to put some trophus or comps in with them? and how long do you think I will be okay for... years or what...I was also thinking of getting a 7 stripe to add No fear on the filteration and cleaning... I am pretty good with that... Right now the 135 has a ton of haps and mbuna in them... I am going to move them into different tanks and put the fronts in there with a few round rocks... not many at all...
that is why I plan to add it soon... I have a small 7 and it died magically when it was with my three zaire blue lil guys... it is almost like they hate them...
also do you think I can not add anymore fronts and just add some comps and trophs?

after your current stock of fronts form a group, any new fronts will be chased off. i have 6 in my tank and one was added a month after the others and he is still cast out
