;DOK i said i would not have front's again but i just can't stand it!!! I will be in the market for a good sized mid-adult colony at the end of August (my fish room should be done by then. PM prices and pics of what you got up for grabs plz I am opened to all types besides burundie's (think i spelled it right) I am really hoping to find some one looking to get rid of thier colony at a good price ...lol I might have around $300.00 maybe a bit more to spend on them right now.  I know Jon had a colony for sale not sure what the cost was though. Thanks all can't wait for the PM's! And if your looking for Neolamprologus Pulcher (Daffodil Brichardi - Yellow Fin) OR Altolamprologus compressiceps Fire Fin's I have a ton for trade or sale.. |

If you ever come to Nashville or midstate, let me know. I'm interested in your Altolamprologus compressiceps Fire Fin's. I am in the process of setting up a 75 gallon Tang tank (think we talked about it earlier). If not, I can wait until the next swap.

How big are your fire fins? I wouldn't mind a few in my Front tank. There's always a risk they might get eaten if they are too small, but I do have 5 2" frontosa fry in there that no one bothers. I had a single Daffodil in there once but I think he died of old age. I live in Huntsville (Monrovia) so distance isn't an issue.

Tina/Angel also had some at one point, don't know if she still does. Jon and Mark can help you out with Fronts!

I also have the daffodil brichardis but most are small. I got 2 x 3" Brichardi left that love to hang out togeather in a shell (might be a pair) the fronts should not eat them. |

I'm scared that a pair of brichardi would be too fierce for my Fronts, even in a 6 foot tank. That's why I only had a singleton. I know they can be mean when they are guarding fry. Otherwise it would be awesome to have them spawn...free food for my Fronts and loaches.
I have lots of hiding spaces for the Comps, I think they might be OK. If they won't even eat their fry, I doubt they would go after these guys.

If they won't even eat their fry, I doubt they would go after these guys. in all my years with fronts i have never had one eat my fish.. maybe im just lucky but who know. i use to have a 12" male with the colony of brichardi they did not bug him much, and i dont thin the front would eat thier fry. when you stop by forgive the mess in the fish room lol its still under construction ,and i have a rack of tanks that are not up and running yet plus a 55 gal sitting there empty =) all to soon change in the next few weeks. |

i love my mixed malawi tank but i feel like one day down the road i will do what every serious hobbyist does and end up with a colony of fronts. what is it about them that everyone loves? i don't think they are the most colorful fish, nor are they the most active. i can't explain it, but i kinda want a colony.

Same here. We have been talking about switching over from mbunas to fronts. Like you say, just something about them! |
