mrfixxxxit Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 i was thinking of cyps but sooo many breeders have warned me that when my fronnies get big enough some will start to disappear.T.dubs i have kept before, they are way too hard to keep. they kept getting bloat. any other ideas guys???

dogboy Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 frontosa will eat most things smaller than themselvesN leleupi, N cylindricus, calvus/comps seem to be ok with them but more rock dwellerssimochromis diagramma? may be to active for frontosa....and not exactly top dwellersHMMMM sell the frontosa and get cyps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucem Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I've got 4 dubs with my fronts. There aren't enough of them to affect my fronts. Actually, the fronts dominate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogboy Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 simos probably are, i have them in with tropheus and havent seen too much aggro yet but they are only just getting to adult size. and its an 8x2.5x2.5 so lots of room to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggered1 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hey mate I keep an adult colony of Utinta cyps with my young F1 kitumba colony so far no issues at all.... been together for 4 months mabe more... largest frontosa is about 13cm + others are smaller . I know there is always a risk and have been warned by many people also.. But it is working for now and all of them seem to be very happy together..
