cooder Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hey, What are the possibilities of Five bar frontosa going with smaller species of Tangs in a std 4 ft? The fish that they would go with would be lemon cichlids, fairy cichlids, cyps and julies. If so how many could go in?? Would there be any special requirements like all of one gender??

Cooder Cyps = fronnie food in the wild... Probably not the best idea, but I think some on the forum haven't had problems with mixes such as that. I wouldn't do it, but that's my opinion .

Link2Hell Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 basic rule = it will be eaten if it fits in the mouth maybe not straight away but it will happen when the Front realises it can Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Five bar Front??? do you mean Neolamprologus tretocephalus aka poor mans fronts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucem Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Trets aren't that cheap these days either! Trets can get pretty agro with each other and other fish, particularly if a pair decide to breed. In my experience, one is OK. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooder Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thankyou for comments, i actually looked them up on google after i posted this (silly thing to do ) and it said they arnt a very nice fish. they are EXTREMELY beautiful!!! but agressive I think that maybe a pair in my sized tank would do great but only without other fish. it said that you would have to have a VERY large tank to house them with other species. I should have looked them up first. Well that answers my question... Cooder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 From my experiences with Trets the aggression is between themselves and the other fish aren't harrassed that much unless they are breeding Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogboy Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Five bar Front??? do you mean Neolamprologus tretocephalus aka poor mans fronts?? you obviously havent seen the price of trets in Adelaide, that is if you can actually find one, at least two to three times what you pay for a frontosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbin4 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Trets are hard to get in Sydney as well,$$'s also hard to get nice ones. Size of tank, fish size & all those things need to be known before you decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
