Frontosa Fish (1-2 Inch)

Frontosa Cichlids are intelligent hunters that prefer strategic feeding habits, often targeting prey during dusk when they are most vulnerable. In aquariums, they readily consume frozen foods, live treats, and high-quality pellets or flakes. These carnivorous fish grow large and require ample space to form groups, much like their natural colonies.

Multiple males can coexist if the tank provides adequate hiding spaces, such as caves and rocks, ensuring safety and minimizing injuries. It’s important to secure decorations, as Frontosas can sometimes retreat clumsily due to their slower movement style.

With graceful swimming patterns and a preference for calm environments, Frontosas make a stunning addition to any large aquarium setup.
