Tank mates for a frontosa colony

[driftwood]

Mine are in a 220. 14 in the colony.

Did you get a good deal on them?

Depends what you consider a good deal.

i have a 75 gal tank with 5 Neo marunguensis Kapampa that are ok with 3 smaller white calvus.10 yellew compress.4 bristlenose plecos. i get what fish i like and just see what happens. no budy realy knows.

Well I have rethought my original plan and have actually bought a group of 5 Kitumba Frontosa, 5 Fire Red Calvus and 5 Zaire black Calvus all will be about 1.5 inches. After seeing photos of the Kitumba's I really like them alot. Instead of going into the 120 gallon tank they will be housed in a 125 long tank instead. I should be able to put up some photos later this week once I get them settled in there new tank. I may not end up keeping all the Calvus but got a really good deal on the group.

I had some brichardi and calvus in with my colony when I set it up. they are larger fronts,,,5-6+ they lasted about a day.

As the Fronts start to mature i might move them out, just have to wait and see.

you might also look at adding some dithers in addition,,,fronts like to be a little crowded and feel more secure. I have 11 large ones in my 180 but probably really need around 15+.
