I have had others says that featherfins do not do well with fronts.

 

[andy1985]

What's the reason they don't get on

 

[ziggy2]

I agree, I would leave the fronts out.

 

[andy1985]

I would rather leave the featherfins out then trhe frontosa. could you explain why they are not a good combo?

 

[mike dunagan]

I had a buddy who kept them together until one day his fronts tried to eat his featherfins. Also when fronts are younger they can be stressed by the featherfins.

I thort Featherfins get realativlylarge i have read that cyathopharynx foai can get to 9" and ventrails are 5" which is smaller but they are not thin bodied like Cryps.
should i go for Benthochromis Tricoti? people recomend these but i thort they were the same as featherfins

 

[andy1985]

If i was to have Morrii instead of the Ventrails would the stock list still be ok?

 

[mike dunagan]

I have seen that combo work well.

 

[andy1985]

is it just the ventrails which would be the problem would the cyathopharynx foai be ok since they get much larger
