Frontosa with Malawi Community

**BruceStuart** · 02-15-2011, 12:47 AM

I have a community of Malawi cichlids
Along with a Tanganyikan Juliodchromis dickfeldi
The other Fish are, 3 Red Empress, 4 Rostratus, 2 Electric yellows and 1 Cobalt blue Zebra Cichlid
Is it possible to keep a Frontosa in this setup or is it to risky or water conditions not right
Thanks

Will the Frontosa eventually eat the juliochromis?

What size tank?

Not a good idea IMO. If the frontosa doesn't get killed it will eventually grow big enough to eat the others.

depending on the size of ur tank frontosa should do fine with those fish. if u have 4 rostratus u must have a lrg tank.

the trouble with having a pair of juliochromis in a tank of malawis comes when you want to move rocks around to introduce new fish.juliochromis DO NOT like to have the rocks moved about and the larger of the two will more than likely kill the other when this is done.
