Great video! Lots of valuable information. We have 5 frontosas, all over 2 years old and we love them. They are part of our family. Keep up the good work!!

[@jimbeam4140]

By area, Lake Victoria is much bigger than Lake Tanganyka, however by water volume you're right. Tanganyka is bigger. Honestly though, this video is incredibly informative (one of the most Informative I have seen on youtube) and I'm a cichlid breeder and watch a lot of youtube fish videos. This just became one of my "must watch" channels. You and your wife seem like a nice couple too which is an added bonus. Keep up the good work.

Wow great video really enjoyed it, I got 10 wild caught Zaire blue moba’s 11 months ago there were around 1.5” - 2” there all around the 5” - 7” mark now, they live in a 1500 litre tank with about 20 clown loach and numerous l number plecos, they seem to coexist very very well as the tank is very chilled with no aggression from no one, I feed them NLS probiotixs as a stable, and chopped prawn a mussel for a treat, I watched your video for the breeding information, looks like I’ll be waiting for around another 2 years yet, never mind there worth the wait, it’s the first time I’ve ever kept frontosa, and there really great fish, I now understand why everyone loves them.

[@uncleardegree]

Thank you this is the most informative video I’ve found so far on n Frontosas

[@RajSingh-jl7zr]

Do species profiles of malawi eye biter, livingstonii , blue dolphin etc

[@MrHoney2U]

Nice species profile John. My favorite no doubt. I see you found a nice clip of Gill. Definitely some good info. Wish you would have discussed/showed the difference between the groups ie: Kigoma, Burundi, Zaire. I get asked that one a lot and with your audience it would have reached more people. Maybe on another episode.

[@zsworld6609]

Thanks John. How many should i start for my 125g? I was thinking 6. Just as you said, a lot of conflicting info about them out there

[@dedeyount71]

My frontosa started breeding the male was around 5in. And the female is 3.5 to 4 in. I get a small litter of 5 to 7 fry every 3 weeks

[@user-gg2qb8un3i]

I had one with my Oscar got them both as babies Oscar grew so fast but they loved each other

[@daddysdachamp596]

I have a 140 gal with an oscar, flagtail prochilodus, and a frontosa. Abd they get along great and are all happy

[@apexriders_]

I actually keep my red devil with peacock haps and mbuna and Oscar. All together they seem to get along fine. Had them together in my 125 for about a year now. No dead fish yet. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@glosfishgb6267]

Frontosa tip never feed floating pellets

[@MajorFokup]

I have burundi and samaze fronts in with bulu point and kaiser trophs, Black calvus, lelupi, and Telmatochromis temporalis shell. I went for a tang tank only for the beauty and the tang species.look. Their grow out tank is a 60 gal as they are all at 2 to 4 inch now, 2 being the lelupi. The trophs are at 3 inch. The fronts will eventually go in the 180 gal when they are big enough to survive with my monsters in there. My tap water PH is 7.8 to 7.9 depending on the season. I feed all 35 tanks Xtreme cichlid pellets, all 3 sizes, or flakes because i can get it in bulk reasonably.

[@bupra77]

Ik this video is old but I went to an imports store and the guy helping me out just refused to sell me a frontossa only because I’m 21 and basically made me feel like I didn’t know anything even tho I’ve had African cichlids for almost 2 years now successfully. I went another day and still got that frontossa. Had to, it’s my moms favorite

[@scootx3946]

we have a 75g that we have had for some time. In it are two Frontosa, as well as some other fish. The original Frontosa ( Frank ) has been around a number of years. Louise joined some time after that. Well, Louise is now about 7-8 inches, and Frank is still only about 4 inches. Frank also does not show himself that often. Louise rules the tank. Thus, I am thinking Frank is Louise and Louise may be Frank. 4 Frys just showed up after two years

[@korra4736]

My frontosa and I survived 2020!

[@ajgarcia9402]

a guy whk owns a small aquarium shop here in WA has a 17" frontosa and its amazing!

[@gillmanjr87]

I’d like your opinion: do you think a 120 gallon 5 foot tank is sufficient for a small group of fronts? Like 1 male, 3 female?

[@Kay13Jay]

I believe that the reason frontosa dont go well with Malawis is because the Malawis stress them because they swim with great speed around them. Frontosa are deep down in the lake where there is much less movement. In my experience they do fine in a tank that has plenty of space and large rocks.

[@paulmccarthy7467]

Nice species profile got to love Frontas mine are are gentle giants.
