But knowing that now, and seeing their social dynamics I would never want to keep a front all alone. Clogstonian said:
Though he used to be the Beta as I had an even bigger more beautiful male believe it or not, but unfortunately after moving I had a spike that killed most my original colony The male in the video a smaller male and a female survived. They are the three biggest fish in the tank, though some of the others are catching up fast ! Mpimbwe never get as large of a lobe as the Burundi types. Some prefer the large hump on Burundi, I think Mpimbwe's is nicer since It doesn't get so big that it hanges over their eyes. Though it can get bigger than what my male has.Yes, they are well fed. However when a female is holding I sometimes fast the colony for 10 days, or even more, so they are not constant fattiesCrashSmAshley said:What beautiful fronts! They look very healthy
I guess it mimics the wild better, because a frontosa in the wild likely can go days without a substantial meal, but then when they do feed it can be a fairly large meal. Kinda like Lions.
