Thank you bro - I believe anything worth doing is worth doing well - this si the way I take any hobby. When I strated with parrot from one I ended with fifty Persian cats from one air to twenty persians and when it was cavalier king charles it was twelve, and goldfish from one tank to twenty three. but this time where fronts are concerened got new boss with new rules..heee heee heee

Poison stage over. Now excitement lah!

Stabalise????...please explain brother
My interpretion of "stabilise" is for them to settle into the new environment and more importantly, get accustomed to their "new tank" water parameters. Only when they feel at home, will their true potential come out.

So BM, how many pcs you have in your collection already? You been adding until we all lost count liao Anyway, good time to "gauge" them is during feeding time - do all come rushing for food? Watch out for any loners that hide one corner as indication of stress.

Total 25 pcs - 9 yours + 6 from Jebus + 1 Moba from echua + 2 from Ornata + bought 4 from various LFS + 3 QH = 25 pcs Currentlythey have allstabalised as I increased their ph and salinity level. Their colours have deepened and they are more lively with their fins flared rather tahn huddled and fins closed moping. Great to see them this way Will share my pics and if can a video

eg: i can spend big bucks and buy a superb WC specimen but without proper care, it will still turn out lousy.

so your tank may have burundi, but if taken care of, they are really beautiful (: cos to me, burundis has e best body proportion
(Taken from FRONTASIA thread)

Share your views bros and also whilst you are at it.......


1. ) What is your favourite FRONTOSA...views please Barundis, Mobas, Zaire,Mimbewe??????.........

Hi guys, just to join in. These are my fronts and my full tank shot. Dark gravel brings out the fronts' color best but I prefer black background with natural white sand.
