Frontosa & Loach setup (Altums supplied Fronts)

Hi everyone

I really stopped coming on Tasa quite a while ago but I always wanted to share some pictures of my frontosa journey. I have had many fish including some uaru cichlids and a 50cm fire eel, man I miss that guy! sold him to a fish keeper with a much bigger tank for him.

So here it is, I will need to upload the photos part by part but I will try get them all up, I am not a finicky fish keeper or a professional. I do it simple and just because I enjoy keeping fish.

Thanks, Enjoy the pictures. theres not too many updates to be had as Fronts grow relatively slow, I cant wait to add more clowns.

The dream is a 4m long x 600 wide x 700 high, timeline to be confirmed lol :blink:

okay ill stop talking now.......

 

Nice looking fish. What are your plans for hard scape? Rock? Wood?

 

getting around to the other pictures now, its already scaped and running, I hate them bare for a couple months as i was instructed and theyre a friendly bunch now

Hi nice fronts... which varient are they?

 

man tasa has one of the worst upload user interfaces i have ever seen, somebody needs to help them

 

burundi, Altum has insane quality fish

 

This has to be my dream combination, fronts and clowns in a giant tank!

Nice bud!

 

more more more

 

Awesome fish there! Won't a finer substrate be better for the clown loaches?

 

getting closer to what it is today

 

this is what it is now, the fronts look great, I lost one along the way. currently have 15. would need an insane 16th one if i ever got one more

 

Here is everyone now, I will try upload a couple videos in the next few days but right now telkom is doing its crap and my internet has dropped pretty badly right now, The angel I have in there is my favourite one ive found. and the two Threadfin acara are from my brothers species tank setup

 

Your tank is wow!!

 

I like the substrate change...What kind of substrate Is that? Also what is your ph I see you added bog wood. I would of left a rocky scape

 

Very nice Nodac! I hope the wood doesn't drop the ph to much.

 

lovely setup fronts look great, just watch the PH for frontosa it should be 8+ to 9.

 

you may have ph issues as I don't see any lime stone rock or shell which normally keeps the ph up.

 

I agree wif Sarf. You could use bicarb, epsom salt and marine salt to buffer your water. I think the lowest ph they can do with is 7.6. but you have to research on that figure.

 

Thank you, the colours arent the same when viewing the pictures on my phone. The fish have much more blue in them in person as well
