Your tanks are awesome!!!!😀 i current have 7 medium size frontosa is there any tips you can give me on trying to figure out if I have any females in my tank? Can you tell a difference between the males and females?
Those pictus cats are a riot - we have 5 in a 90G with 6 silver dollars and a couple of other fish. They peel around the bottom like go-carts and go crazy when I feed the tank. Lots of fun. Your fish look amazing! I love BIG fish. Nice, nice tank.
I think you should keep your frontosa, because Moba frontosa don't breed as well. I use to have Burundi frontosa, and they breed once every six months, so I gave the fry to the local pet store.
How do you know that they are carrying eggs/fry? What do you do when you realize that they have fry? I have 7 large Frontosas - two large males and 5 females. Do you remove her or do something else? Never have had them breed. They are in a 125. Thanks. Also, I wouldn't get rid of the male - I'd keep him with a couple females in another tank. If your alpha males dies, you'll have another one.
I could tell that they were carrying is by how they hold their mouth. And then if you watch the mouth for a short bit they will tumble the fry in the mouth and you can see that. I removed the smaller male and put him in another tank with a few other smaller ones. Unfortunately I went on vacation and had a friend watch the fish, she accidently turned off the wrong switch which was the one to the electrical and they died! I was supper mad and I still haven't spoken to her yet to this day. I am going to get sharks now. I will post a new video soon.:)
I am planning to setup a new Frontosa tank. The seller guy will give me 10 babies from his tank in two weeks. Please suggest what precautions and care I should take. I am new for Frontosa but not new in fishkeeping.
? I have 125gal with small frontosa 3-4 inch I have another frontosa bout a good 5 inch do u think it would be fine put him in the 125 with the smaller fish
Yerry frontosa Carrillo Yes most definitely! One thing to watch for is chasing in the beginning they can be aggressive to the newbies. Have a divider on hand in case u need it.
greetings from the uk. love fronts. i have a colonie of 8 hope two males! i feed them frozen krill defrosted every one or two days and some pellet once or twice a week. water change 30% every three days. i wondered if theres is a good way to sex apart from venting? my fish are around 5 inch
Just saw your video. Love frontosa. You care for them in a similar fashion to me. Like the water change every two weeks. I think some people change water way to often. Do you still have them... And just an inside joke Are you MF'N Ready!!! Saw a Manson video on your page.
They look stunning. You have a similar size colony to me, although by the looks of it, my colony is younger, they are around 3 to 4 years old on average. I also have an Alpha male (Herman), a Beta male (Eddie) and a third (Butch) who i also need to move on for his own good. i have 4 females, one has held 3 times successfully, Another female has held once successfully, the other two have held for about a week then spat or swallowed, but they're young. There are 3 juveniles that were born in the aquarium. but i now have a fry tank set up with 25 fry.

Thanks, I am working on a shark tank now. I will post a video soon.

Mine would also breed a lot and I also did sell the fry to my local pet store:).
Which is considered to be the most beatiful variation of Frontosa?
Absolutely love it !!
one of my favorite frontosa. this video was 5 years ago. do you still have them?
No I don't but my friend has a fry I sold him, he might have some available. I will have to ask.
Itook my sponge out of the canister, waters a lot clearer!

Just wondering do you still have the fronts?
No
I am planning to setup a new Frontosa tank. The seller guy will give me 10 babies from his tank in two weeks. Please suggest what precautions and care I should take. I am new for Frontosa but not new in fishkeeping.
Hi, you can call me at 7017295111
So nice of you. But I have changed my mind and gone with a pair of oscars for my 320 Ltrs tank. I thought I will not be able to take care of Frontosa.
Fronts are the same as oscar
I thought I will have to do more maintenance for Frontosa and it will require a bigger aquarium.
Oscars require the same stuff as fronts
Good tank ❤
Awesome set up. What kind of sand is it?
911 Fitness just fine sand idk

How much does a male moba frontosa cost at juvenile size?
about 45 - 55 w/tax
how long/feet is your tank
I believe it was 6 ft
Hi there. I just wanna know how often they breed ?
Nanda Kishore every 3 months
Nanda Kishore about every 3 months
How much time it takes to grow from 2 inch to 4 inch
Ruffly 1.5 yrs, depends on how much protein u feed
Great video, what PH do you keep your tanks at?
Shaun Vitek I don't have the tank any more, I sold it last week and I never test parameters for this tank.
Shaun Vitek never test parameters, doesn't matter but when I did test, it was spot on.
How many male and female in ur tank?
2 males and the rest are smaller females
Medium size cichlid pellets, any brand
greetings from the uk. love fronts. i have a colonie of 8 hope two males! i feed them frozen krill defrosted every one or two days and some pellet once or twice a week. water change 30% every three days. i wondered if theres is a good way to sex apart from venting? my fish are around 5 inch
Paul Perriss males have big bump on forehead, females dont.
so cool
wOw.. nic fronto r those burundi ??
Yes they are.
thats a frequent filter change I change mine as little as possible for bacteria reasons
Most of the bacteria is held in the canister filter so it's fine to change the water as often. They like water changes the more the better.
Just saw your video. Love frontosa. You care for them in a similar fashion to me. Like the water change every two weeks. I think some people change water way to often. Do you still have them... And just an inside joke Are you MF'N Ready!!! Saw a Manson video on your page.
Da just saw your comment that you no longer have this set up.
I am getting sharks in a few months. I have a 220 gal and I will post a video soon so watch for that.
And I would love to see Manson again:)
thats got hell of a head I keep frontosa but they've got some catching up to do compared to yours
They look stunning.

Mine love krill
How much you sell your babies for
I don't have this colony anymore, but I sell Burundi at $25 each. I now breed Moba Frontosa, don't have any fry yet.
