First let me state that I know they cannot be kept together because Frontosa is more of a protein diet and Tropheus is more of a vegi diet.
This will be my first Cichlid tank so I want to do it correctly.
The tank is a 150 gallon 72 long.
I wanted to keep a few Synodontis (2-3 petricola and 1-2 decorus) in the tank as well. I am debating between going Tropheus or Frontosa. What other Cichlids can be kept with either of them or is it more of those are the only species in the tank kind of thing?
Which one also would be a better one to start out with?
I have had the tank for over a year now with community fish (I know they have to go). The substrate is Crushed Coral and there is a lot of Texas Holey Rock in there. I need to get the exact PH measures but with those items in there it should be decently high. I have a API liquid test kit, so getting the results wont be a problem.
Thanks in advance!
