Hi Walter. There are a lot of chances that you will have problems in the future. Both fish live in different water parameters. If you favor one, the others will be less healthy. ... and the fact that frontosa can grow up to 14" too can cause a problem😜

Even though this fish is from Lake Malawi and the water parameters are different, what are your thoughts about keeping a small school of Blue Dolphin fish, Cyrtocara moori with a colony of Frontosa?

Hi Richelle, I just bought a 600 gallon tank. It measures 8 feet long 4 feet deep and 36 inches wide. It will be filtered with 4 FX6 canisters. My question is how many fronts will work in this tank. Male and female ratio and total number of fish. Thanks

@johnatella8498

2 жыл бұрын

I have a 125 with a colony of 7: three males and four females. The dominant male has two males to pick on so neither gets that much attention. The females are also a good distraction. In a 600 gallon tank with those ratios, I would stay with the 3 males but add 3-4 more females. I will say, if you have caves, they will hide and it will still look like you have just 3-4 fish. Try to buy your frontosas at different places as a way to increase your genetic diversity; otherwise, your fish might all come from one spawn and pass genetic issues to their fry.

I have one question, how many Cyphotilapia Frontosa can i put togheter in a 165,108 gallon aquarium? You said 125 gallon or more. Do you mean 125 gallon or more for 5 or 6 or is it not enough ? Sorry my english 😓

@johnatella8498

2 жыл бұрын

7 in a 165: 3 males and the rest females. That is if you buy them at an age where you can tell their gender. I would do that rather than buy cheaper fry. They take forever to mature.

Hi there, I don't know about the phone but this is how to check it on the computer. Put the subtitles on Click the gear (next to the subtitles button) Click on Subtitles (they'll be in english by default) Click on Automatically Translate Select your language. Google will automatically translate the subtitles to spanish. Of course it won't be 100% but it's a start. Since I added a subtitle track (with the right words), it should be easier to comprehend than the videos that have an automatically generated track. Enjoy!

Great vid! I had to subscribe after seeing this.. Montreal, wow! I got vague memories ( b4 your time ) of expo '67 - I was visiting as a young navigation apprentice on a Blue Star ship.. happy memories.. So, I have a single Frontosa, which wifie bought about 4 yrs back - ashamed to say he / she was sadly neglected, and a miracle he survived - now named 'StripeyJoe' and re-housed in a 90gall tank, along wi' total 15 various peacocks and haps, including 3 Yellow Labs, and a decent-sized bristlenose plec - ev'body seem to be happy enough.. My questions: how do I 'sex' StripeyJoe ?.. and if a male, cud I put, say, 3 females with him in this tank - knowing it's sorta long-term for breeding - but wud the females be OK wi' the other cichis?.. thks..

Hi Brian. Welcome to the channel. Many of the pavilions from the expo are still up and running. One of them even became a casino (I think it was the French one). For Stripey Joe, males would have a gigantic hump, whereas females have smaller ones. Males also have long "flowy" fins. You can also vent the fish. Check out my video about sexing African cichlids. Venting is presented at 4:53 kzread.info/dash/bejne/o39r08-nYbGylqQ.html So, is Stripey Joe male of female?

Hi Joshua, That's definitely something you're going to have to act fast about and find out what's stressing your fish out. Check your water parameters to make sure that the tank is adapted to them. : kzread.info/dash/bejne/lXeVqqqTZL2ofaQ.html Make sure that your tank is well cycled as well : kzread.info/dash/bejne/e4Wjw8StZdG5mrA.html What can also stress them out is aggressive fish or that the tank is too small. Good luck!
