    Hey guys I was just looking at my tanks since I added another 2m for some more fronts and I was wondering how many of you tasa members own frontosas with the dream too breed them or have bred them. At the moment I have 11 wc Chaitika frontosas in my ole 2m and and in the other 2m I have 11 f1 chaitika frontosas. Hoping they will all breed very soon. Looking forward too hearing from all of you. Regards Sean

    That's quite a mixture, just remember that frontosas are very dosile fish and get intimidated very easily. Just watch the territorial fish like the green terror might end up hurting your fronts. Regards Sean

    Well from my experience malawi peacocks go well with fronts at the moment I have aul lwanda hi-reef in the on tank and in the other I have oto zim rocks and they all get along just fine and one important point there water parameters are almost the same. They also look good together. Sean

    Hey Thysie, I had a breeding colony of burundi last year they are very nice I actually miss them. I have also had wild caught kigomas and f1 mpimbwe blue fronts and at the moment my chaitikas. Too me there is a lot of joy in keeping frontosas. Regards Sean

    Glad to see you have the wild caught ones :) These other tank bred ones you see are kind of low grade, inbred and look nothing like the true wild fish.

    They look amazing!

    Do you notice that the tank bred frontosas are white rather than blue?

    Thanks everyone for the comments. Tankmaster the tank bred fish are bred from wild caught hence they are F1. So they are pure bred not inbred or low quality, I agree wild caught are much better but they cost an arm and a leg too import. Usually my F1's have a much darker blue, I only put them in that tank on sunday so they still settling in. But once again thanks all for the comments.
    SARF: I am still waiting for the mpimbwe:)
    Regards
    Sean
