I have a school of 6 clown loaches in with my Kitumba Frontosa. They get along great. They will be comming out tho when the frontosa start to breed.
How long have you had them. Mine kind of went in stages, always out and about when they were fry. Then from about the 1 to 3 inch stage they seemed more shy. Now they are out almost all of the time. What type do you have as some seem to be more outgoing than others. I did have yellow Neolamprologus leleupi in with them for almost a year and that worked out too until my biggest front hit five inches and he took a dislike to them.
You just don't want to put in anything that will nip the fins of your fronts.

Thank you for your compliment. Here is a link on the different types of fronts

The cyphos website is probably the best site that specializes in frontosa.
I strongly suggest you join that forum as well as the information there is a valuable asset when starting out with fronts. I am Sailor there as well.
