Stunning tank and beautiful Leluepi and Fronts. Thank you for the inspiration. Currently running a tank with Leluepi and loving it.

Awesome scape and i love the variety. Very nice 🤌

[@NotSure876]

Beautiful! And everyone seems to get along, awesome!

[@danieltaylor757]

Very nice mate. Looks like your lelupi are making lots of snacks for your your fronts! Love the black basalt stone. Very nice set up

[@jwilcox]

The Frontosa have all grown up around the leleupi. They’ve never had live food, and I’ve never seen any feasting going on, or fry numbers changing.

[@danieltaylor757]

That wasn’t a criticism. They’re noctural hunters in the wild, with cyprichromis as their primary food source. Be interesting if that instinct was lost in tank raised fish 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jwilcox]

@@danieltaylor757 Wasn’t taken as criticism. I’ve watched the female Frontosa protect the Leleupi fry. I wouldn’t say the instinct is lost, but it is definitely something that goes away when fed nothing but a high quality pellet diet. We have Oscar that won’t predate on small tank mates also.

[@danieltaylor757]

Gotcha. No need to waste energy chasing fish around if all your caloric needs are met 😋

[@rwcorleyze]

@jwilcox - great tank! Which Seiryu stones did you use for the scape?

[@jwilcox]

A friend had a ton of it set back. He gifted it to us.

This is like my dream tank, frontosa, of all the fish I’ve kept over the years I’ve never had a frontosa, but I did just get a 220 gallon tank and the reason I got it was so I could finally get some frontosa , but I kinda do want to do a tanganyika tank

[@rigidstonerottweiler]

I am trying to do the exact same set up in my 180, my fronts were in a 90 gallon by themselves and now I added them to the 180 and the same time , I added some Julie’s and brichardies as well. I have only 1 brichardie left and have lost 2 Julie’s, not sure if it’s because it’s a new set up or my fronts are causing some damage

[@jwilcox]

The fronts grew up with the leleupi from very young. My guess is that’s how I’ve been lucky to keep the little with the bigs.

[@wickedskillz101]

How big is this tank? It’s absolutely amazing ❤😊

[@jwilcox]

Thank you! It’s a 72” 125 gallon.

[@wickedskillz101]

@@jwilcox absolutely stunning. Nice work and may become an inspiration for a Frontosa Centric Tanganikyan tank down the road

Mis peces favoritos ❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnbarton1878]

Very nice, that male frontosa is a beast.

A fake plant from universal rocks.
