dobbin4 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 What sort of acei ?? and sorry mate don't even think of adding the poor Angels. Fron's, will distroy them. Try some Labs or Peacocks, Haps, Placidochromis Gold Mbamba Bay?? Nice coloured perlmutts would add some nice colour. Good luck John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendon Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 ok im not to sure about the acei , there black with yellow tails i cant remember the name , but all i have in the tank now are 2 frontosa and 4 acei , what else would be good in there and wouldnt harm or get attacked by them ? something blue mabye , nice colours and that grows to a decent size cheers brendon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcy Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 so you have Pseudotropheus Acei and Frontosa in the same tank? one an almost exclusive herbivore and the other an almost exclusive carnivore? IMHO this is just asking for trouble. Malawi mbuna are incredibly sensitive to bloat from eating the high protein foods that frontosa's need to be happy. apart from that, the best i can offer is other Tanganyikan species. perhaps A calvus or A compressiceps? at least something that is a carnivore like the fronts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendon Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 ive had these fish together for awhile and everything is fine , they fronts eat anything the acei eat , so im pretty good with all the feeding and keeping them happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngy_11 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yea, i would put some cobalts or red zebras in there for some more colour and maybe another 2 fronts. Also a rarer gibby would be a wise addition while the fish are still small. thanks ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
