If the 55g is temp then you could add just about anything providing their
temperment (mild) is the same and neither will fit the others mouth
.
I read somewhere that Frontosa will do best in a mixed specie tank with fish that
dont school with eachother, and also fish that are larger and slow moving. Keep in
mind Fronts require a slightly higher ph, and any tankmates would have to as well.
They are Tanganyikan, so, some of the better tankmates might include Moori, Calvus,
Brichardi, Duboisi, Compressicep,..also heard of Peacocks and Dolphins working fine.

Thanxs Cam..i was thinkin some Peacocks as i can FINALLY get my hands on all sizes..as it is now the PH IS very high so pretty sure Peacocks will do fine and i can also get a same size tankmate Brichardi which has the nicest fins..just hope this beauti doesnt get picked at if i pick him up??
