I have 6 7 bar frontosa 1 medium male 18cm, female 17cm, small male 13cm, 2 females 11cm and small female 8cm

they live in a 6 by 2 by 2 with a lot of electric yellows, 2 C.moorii , 3 silver dollar, 2 mono argenteus, convict pair, afra cobue and 3 burundi frontosa

Be very careful the Kigomas and the Burundis Frotnosas DO NOT cross breed also that is a fair few fish in that tank already hope there is some aeration going through the water for them all.

I have 8x2x2 with 7 W/C 7 Bar kigoma frotnosa breeding colony, 4 x Dimi Comps and 5 x Elec Blue Ahli and that is more than enough in there atm.

If you can i would put the Burundis in a seperate tank than the 7 bars or better still the 7 bars in a seperate tank.

i would definately remove the burundi's. too risky
and probably clear some fish out
sounds like its getting too crowed for fronts.

down to business.
-keep the water clean
-temp 26
-pH 7.6+ higher the better but tap water pH is fine
-white sand, big pots or limestone tubes, i would recommend keeping the decor to minimum
-not too bright lighting, i find they go skits under bright light
- a hiding place for the female.
