    Are Frontosa aggressive or fairly peaceful? Could they hold their own in a tank with a Green Terror, Red Devil, J Dempsey, Oscar, and a Buttikoferi?

    Why not? Is the Frontosa too aggressive or not able to hold its own against them?

    Those guys would more than likely whoop up on a Frontosa. They are too aggressive and grow way to big and fast for a Frontosa.

    There are several guys you can mix in with them. Some will not harm them in breeding and some will. It just all depends on what your trying to do with them

    Here's a few

    Clown Loaches
    Syno Petros
    Syno Multis
    Calvus
    Comps
    Moori Dolphins
    Phenos
    Large Haps
    Large Peacocks

    There are a few others as well but this should get ya started

    Just make sure to get the Frontosa larger than the others as they grow much, much, much, much slower than the other 2.

    You don't want to start out with all 1" fry and after a few months have a 2" Frontosa with 4-5" guys in there
