livingart Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 what size tank are they in at the moment? i would suggest they need more room than you are proposing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 No it is far too small, they will kill each other off and you will be left with one.. Min at this size would be a large 4ft but I would say min 5 x 2 x 2 with lots of rock work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 putting frontosa cichlid into google and pressing search will bring up some amazing information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'd probably use a bigger bin than that tank just to transport them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 i think charlie is just playing with us yes lindyloo that was another original idea i had i might try to copyright it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yea I would definitely do that, better get in Super Quick before some-one beats you to it :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 if these are the fish in question http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 463221.htm there is no way they will go in the cube you are proposing they say females are holding so these fish will be big so even 1 would fill that tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 So 5-6 fish each averaging 15 cm thats 90 cm of fish in a 60 cm cube. Makes good sense or good cents to your LFS I keep fry in bigger tanks. Good luck with that eh? Navarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 way too small the alpha male i had would just squeeze in to that being just over 40 cms and only 7 years old with still lots of growing to go. best get a large tank for them.

Mel Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 You're joking right? suerly you're not seriously thinking of putting those sized fronts in something that small - you'll be just asking for trouble there mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
