Thanks for the advice. I'm getting a 130-150 6' tank. I was going to a put rock pile in one corner for them and leave the rest open for the other fish(cryps) but now I may re think that. Any suggestions. All my fresh water have been Malawi's so this is new to me.
Thanks for the help and suggestions

With a tank that size I would go with frontosas. I know they are probably the most common of the tanganyikans in the hobby, but there is a reason for that. Absolutely stunning when they reach maturity. My friend has a 7 - 8 yr old male that makes a fantastic cenrepiece for his tank.

You could add almost anything else from the lake in with them (except tropheus). Some julidichromis for the rockwork, leleupi's for a splash of yellow, cyps for the open water (as long as they are large enough to avoid becoming frontosa food), and round it off with some syno cats. I'm envious!

Lots of good info on fronts, tropheus, "cookie cutter" tanks, etc.
