Frontosas, Dolphins and Plecos Oh My!

Here are pics of my 11 frontosas and 13 Blue Dolphins :D

This is my 90 gallon tank that they are housed in. As you can see I have a fountain in the middle of the tank. I wanted to make this tank into a bio tank or as it is commonly known a Paludarium. This picture was taken when I first got the Fronts. You can see half an Albino Pleco sticking out of his cave.

Didn't know you could mix the Cyrtocara moorii with the Cyphotilapia frontosa, different lake parameters. Tangs like the higher ph....probably no matter unless they accidentally cross breed!:D

[YSS]

They can co-exit with no problem. However, your 90G is going to be way too small for your fish once they start getting bigger. You are going to need at least a 6 footer.

I have Blue Dolphins in with my Fronts, Lee ~ many do, from my understanding ~ they adapt well and are great fish to watch!

I only have one right now ~ I went to get two more, but they were either too small or too big:(

Marie,
I had both in the mid 80's and early '90s.
Try a 10 pac colony of T. duboisi in another tank, they move around alot more and attack spirulina flake like hungry Piranhas:p

Lee

I know I will have to get a bigger tank ;)

Lee,
I mix and match all the time LOL! I had Africans in with my South Americans and had no problems. Granted I bought them from PetSmart who keeps both in the same water LOL. I had to remove the convicts from the tank cause they were NASTY little buggers LOL

Don't want to go off topic, but someone who purchased a few of my angels had a tank of fish wiped out from purchasing 1 angel on that common filtration system you speak of Frank. Watch out:(
