Question
hi i was wondering if i could put a frontosa in my 8 foot tank with some electric yellows, electric blues, rusty cichlids or bumble bee cichlids, kenyi and yellow tailed acei. im going to feed them big guppies as a snack.and do you know any other colour mbunas or other fish which arent brown blue or yellow

thnx for your help

Answer
Hi Luke, your frontosa should be okay to be in the tank with your other cichlids as long as they aren't too small. They are usually very gentle with their tank mates but will eat smaller fish because they are very carnivorous. I know of a couple but a red zebra cichlid pops into mind right off they are a reddish orange color and they act and look a lot like an electric yellow cichlid. Good Luck!
