Frontosa pics

[Ukdans1k]

Have taken some pics of my group of Burundi frontosa. Taken on my cell the quality is not great so apologies. Also I'm not much of a photographer. Let me know what you think.

beautiful fish!

Ty, they are my pride and joy!!!
I had just feed them when I took pics so that's why the water looks a bit crappy as they have sand which gets kicked up.

very nice Fish, I am thinking of getting some but I already have a heard of SP44 breeding like crazy and other fish doing the same. My tank is about 125 gallons

 

[Ukdans1k]

Grady I would be happy to sell you some fry when I get some I'd your interested?

Don't think I'd sell any large ones. If they get to big for the tank I will either buy a new tank to house all or a separate tank and have two breeding groups. Lol greedy I kniw

 

[Ukdans1k]

Garfy sorry not Grady, predictive text error! Lol

Sp44 are tanganyikan so they might go together, but I wouldn't recommend as sp44 are aggressive I believe. Calvus and lamprologus make good tank mates

I thought sp44 was from lake Victoria?

 

[Ukdans1k]

Yup your right, Victoria, sorry got confused. So not a good idea to mix. Lol

They are not bad but once they select a rock or something they like to breed on then that and everything around it is theirs, My tank is split in half with the main dad and his son, the son has taken over the main side now of the tank but sometimes the kingdom changes hands every now and again, its funny to watch. Lots of lip locking involved and the other fish get into it also, only fish that does not care is my Jack Dempsey, had him for years and even moved 900 miles with him in a cooler, he is about 11inches, he is just docile does not care about anything.
