Got 10 Kitumba Frontosa from Mark Ruble last weekend and about 70 pounds of holey rock from Jon Carman. They have been very shy so far and stay tucked away in their hiding spots, but are getting better about coming out front more every day. Of course, when you approach the tank, they disappear again. Hopefully they'll get more brave as time goes along! Otherwise, they are eating well and all seem healthy.

Got around to taking a short video today. pH is 8.0, temp is 80. You can really only see about three in this video, but there are 10 for sure lol.

Thoughts?

I'm wondering if there's too much? Sure gives them a lot of places to hide, but the trade off is that you don't see them much! haha.

They were beating each other up.They will grow fairly quick. Your set up looks great.

There are a couple that I'm pretty sure already are males just from their dominance, color, etc. We'll see how they end up.
