    I just bought a Frontosa and i am keeping a luo han with it. Is it a good choice or is there another more suitable tankmate with Frontosa?[]

    Hi

    I don't think u shld. Both fish have diff water requirements. Frontosa requires hard water with high PH. LH probably prefers more neutral water specs. But most aquarium fish are quite adapatable to any water conditions but i think they won't look their best though.

    Cheers!

    agree with the members above, frontosa requires harder water *if i recall correctly* like other tanganyika cichlids.

    furthermore, they r very peaceful as compared to the LHs even if the frontosa is slightly of bigger size, it is most unlikely to withstand the attack from LH. so i thk better not mix or else .......

    The Lh can take go and fry.

    Many other suitable tankmates for Fronts around , just need to search around.
    Myself keeping tanganyikans also.
    But no fronts cos i dont have the luxury of that much space for them.

    a good tankmate is malawi blue dolphin.

    water requirement can be reasonably matched for both

    dietary also.

    size and colour also good.

    I have to put the LH with the Frontosa cuz no more space. Anyway, the Frontosa is one inch big and the LH is a little smaller then the Frontosa. The LH keeps wanting to go into the flowerpot provided but the Frontosa will chase it away. When food is here, the Frontosa will take all and leave scrapes for the LH. They sometimes engage in a Jaw-Locking fight.

    Hey. No need to fear. The Frontosa is bullying the LH like crazy and i don't and will never intend to separate them. The frontosa will eat all bloodworms and the LH will go hungry. Even when the LH wants to get into the flower pot, the frontosa will chase it out.[] []
