Frontosa taste is more like it ain't bad but noting special. This shit got me kicked out of the house and I was forced to go live with relatives.

    • @QuebecCichlides

      Hi Walter. There are a lot of chances that you will have problems in the future. Both fish live in different water parameters. If you favor one, the others will be less healthy.
      ... and the fact that frontosa can grow up to 14" too can cause a problem😜

    Hi Richelle, I just bought a 600 gallon tank. It measures 8 feet long 4 feet deep and 36 inches wide. It will be filtered with 4 FX6 canisters. My question is how many fronts will work in this tank. Male and female ratio and total number of fish. Thanks

    • @johnatella8498
      @johnatella8498 3 роки тому

      I have a 125 with a colony of 7: three males and four females. The dominant male has two males to pick on so neither gets that much attention. The females are also a good distraction. In a 600 gallon tank with those ratios, I would stay with the 3 males but add 3-4 more females. I will say, if you have caves, they will hide and it will still look like you have just 3-4 fish. Try to buy your frontosas at different places as a way to increase your genetic diversity; otherwise, your fish might all come from one spawn and pass genetic issues to their fry.

      7 in a 165: 3 males and the rest females. That is if you buy them at an age where you can tell their gender. I would do that rather than buy cheaper fry. They take forever to mature.

    Great vid! I had to subscribe after seeing this.. Montreal, wow! I got vague memories ( b4 your time ) of expo '67 - I was visiting as a young navigation apprentice on a Blue Star ship.. happy memories.. So, I have a single Frontosa, which wifie bought about 4 yrs back - ashamed to say he / she was sadly neglected, and a miracle he survived - now named 'StripeyJoe' and re-housed in a 90gall tank, along wi' total 15 various peacocks and haps, including 3 Yellow Labs, and a decent-sized bristlenose plec - ev'body seem to be happy enough.. My questions: how do I 'sex' StripeyJoe ?.. and if a male, cud I put, say, 3 females with him in this tank - knowing it's sorta long-term for breeding - but wud the females be OK wi' the other cichis?.. thks..

    • @QuebecCichlides
      @QuebecCichlides  5 років тому

      Hi Brian. Welcome to the channel. Many of the pavilions from the expo are still up and running. One of them even became a casino (I think it was the French one).
      For Stripey Joe, males would have a gigantic hump, whereas females have smaller ones.
      Males also have long "flowy" fins.
      You can also vent the fish. Check out my video about sexing African cichlids. Venting is presented at 4:53
      ua-cam.com/video/qK7qmn1NLfA/v-deo.html
      So, is Stripey Joe male of female?

      I'm happy for you that it's going well for but keep in mind that it might not stay that way forever.
      The frontosa will get big and will rampage on your fish(hopefully it won't die young because of the inadequate water parameters.)
      No 2 aquariums are alike but a frontosa is a frontosa, whether you're in Australia or the north pole 😉

      Hi there,

      Put the subtitles on
      Click the gear (next to the subtitles button)
      Click on Subtitles (they'll be in english by default)
      Click on Automatically Translate
      Select your language.
      Google will automatically translate the subtitles to spanish. Of course it won't be 100% but it's a start.
      Since I added a subtitle track (with the right words), it should be easier to comprehend than the videos that have an automatically generated track.

      Hi Justin, I've never seen frontosa with arowana, that's not a mix I can get behind :(
      I hope your big old guy makes it out. They can live up to 25 years if well kept.
      I'd add some melafix in a QT tank to help him get his strength back.
      Good luck.

    My story doesn’t end well unfortunately these horrible things happen. Never again but it happened with my gorgeous frontosa colony. I had these fish guys for many years and grew attached like I do to all my fish. I just put a new heater in my tank ( eheim jager) a week prior and all seemed good and when I went to work all was good according to my digital thermometer.. when I get home first thing I do When I walk in is check on my tanks. When I looked at my frontosa colonies tank I saw The digital thermometer say 101°F the heater stuck on in the boil my fish. I had one survivor he was 12 inches long beautiful male!!!! I was in shock and so sad then came anger because I bought this heater thinking they were great quality turns out I found out they all fail anyway. As of now all my aquariums including my reef has the heater that comes with the thermostat controller. This happened many years ago but it was a lesson and hard learned and the cost the life of my beautiful fish. I’ve had these heater stick and heard of friends who’ve had this heater stick and kill all the fish mini mini times since that happened to me so beware. Well I’m sorry my story was so down but to tell you I had many beautiful years with those fish watching them grow and watching how they exist watching how they set the pecking order who is the dominant male so on and so forth. Frontosas are very very beautiful!!!! The offspring that they gave me I have friends still have those fish to this day and agrees me great pleasure to watch them in a good home knowing they came from me and my frontosa colony!!!!

      Hi Lito. I'm so sorry to read this story. We work so hard to give our fish a good home, it's horrible to have their little lives end that way.
      I'm glad you were able to "get back on the horse" and that your prize male was able to make many babies.
      Thank you for sharing❤️️

      I fed it one boiled egg a day after my Frontosa was about 25 years old and had a net to scoop up its waist but the protein diet made him live that long but we had a hurricane that shut our electricity off for 3 weeks so the water became cold and it’s November in New Jersey so it passed away Me and my wife called him Black Beauty and was so smart that it watched TV with us and Belly rubs I purchased another Frontosa but being 70 don’t think I’ll be around if it turns 30
