Would it be posible to keep two Frontosas and say a cuckoo catfish in a standard 4 foot tank. Or would this be unadvisable??

it's not unadviseable if the front's are juvies, but they will eventually out grow their space...I grew out 4 in a standard 4 footer and once the male reached 20cm I sold them on...it's the width of a standard that is the issue once they get bigger...I just doesn't seem right to keep them as adults in a tank they can barely turn around in...they are slow growing though so you could enjoy them for a year or 2...they are beautiful fish...i have some (4) 5cm juvies in a 210 litre tank now but intend to sell them when they hit about 15cm so they can reach their potential in a bigger tank...I love watching fish grow out...good luck with whatever you decide mate.

Thanks for the reply, 1 to 2 years is good then as if I decide to keep them it gives me plenty of time to upgrade to a bigger tank.
