Yes but not right away. I need to plan this out as far as breaking down my tank again and what I'm going to do with them. I have a 55 so I may keep them in there for the time being or just net them and bring them to a friend who has plenty of room. I wouldn't say it's URGENT they be removed right away and with the holiday coming and I just did a re home of 4 last week I don't wanna stress the fish out anymore right now. After the breakdown and chasing fish all over the place in my 75 and setting the tank back up doing a water change I lost another fish 2 days later. Maybe I stressed him. I dunno but for now I'm gonna hold off just a little while.
 
When I first got into fish about 4-5 years ago I got every African cichlid I saw, or so it seemed. I found with most that they were high strung and hyper, not to mention aggressive. Through all of that I had one small Burundi frontosa that was awesome, I got more frontosa and thinned out the rest of the fish and from then on I was hooked. I ended up selling all my other fish and kept only frontosa and calvus. Shortly after that I sold all my aquariums and fish for some stupid reason. About a year ago I was given a fish tank and I knew I had to get frontosa again. The rest is history, I keep mine in a 55g for now as they are still small but will be upgrading in the next few months.

Hehehe it starts with one!

I was at my lfs and they said "of course it'll go in with your fish, no problem!" So in a tank of super active aggressive mbuna I had one lone frontosa just chillin.
Love love loved him!! Named him QT, get it? hehehe
Anyway, I researched, moved it to its own tank...one turned to two, two turned into 12!
My point, I think you'd LOVE having a frontosa tank!
 
And since everyone else is adding pics, here's mine...

Awesome picture!! That's it. I'm gonna have to talk to the wife! I'll keep the 2 in my 55 bow front I have in storage for now. But not doing anything until after the holidays or maybe even later then that. I wanna keep them! :)

I'd add pics but if I add anymore pics I mine as well just take pictures of my entire apt,you pretty much have pictures of all my fish :)

EDIT:

Will he do well with my frontosa? lol

When I had my old tank my dog would always be right there watching the fish, it was face level for her. I had to clean nose prints off it daily.
