Frontosas

[Cichlid-Man]

Ok, i can get some Fronts but my problem is......i only have a 55gal tank.

I have seen people with only 1 front in a 55 tank and yet i have seen 4 in a 55 at 1 time.

How many could i put in where no one would REALLY get stressed?

If i could i'd like to put as many as i can "humanely" put in the tank.

Thanx

you can do 1 in a 55 but they will not be happy, they are schooling fish

i was also think of.....buying like 4 raising them until they reach a large size and selling them, getting more small 1's and so on....

hello. this site sums it up quite well

here-- www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/c_frontosa.php

as stated above they are too large for a 55 gallon. also, they are one of the few gregarious-piscivore cichlids. HTH
