I never strip, I allow the mother to carry. It seems to stress the mother out too much. I make sure there are plenty of hiding spaces in the tank for the fry. Each to their own.
Hi!! great Stripping!! I do same with my fronts after 18-21 days :D but 2 of my fronts are still imature they eat their eggs...I will get an incubator...but for now the other 4 females do a great job! so no need really lol I will just let the other 2 mature. I need to say that this fish is very hardy if fed right! and if you breed them the fry are great! they are very active and rarely hide unlike the wild caught are very shy.
Wow at first i thought you were another idiot that just was mean to fish but good job!! i like what you did most owners wouldn't do that for their fish!!:-D
So yeah, I believed this is one problem all african cichlid owner face. What is a good way of removing the female out of the main tank without moving contructed structure out or around.
lol i love how people, talk crap when they obviously know nothing about mouth brooders, and frontosa in the first place. I have seen many fronts eats there eggs/fry because they got hungry or spooked. This would be called preventative measures. Most people actually take them out as eggs and put them in a tumbler, at least she got to hold her babies for a little while. Very nice female by the way /thumbs up
Sure ! Az long az it'z 1 or 2. They require sum space. Theze thingz grow anywhere from 14 to 16 inches. So dependn on how many u want u will hav 2 upgrade wen they get a certain size. 55 iz jus gud 2 start off with.
this is called "stripping". some mothers are bad at holding(not all) so owners will have an option to strip before the mother spits them out during egg incubation or eating them
very nice work ! i have 5 fronnys 2 male and 3 female, there are about 7 months old in a 690L tank, males are about 3 inches and females are about 2 inches, very slow growing but by far the best fish to keep in an aquarium ! they are also living with 3 blue dolphins about 20 electric yellows (gotta get the babys out at some stage) 3 clown loaches 5 bristle noes and 1 30cm pleco !! my tank is quite happy they get along well with each other !!!
im just curious how fast do frotosas grow my friend just bought one and the only tank he can put it in is a ten gallon right now where he keeps his feeder fish and the frontosa is a little smaller than the feeder fish cant be more than an inch and a half just wondering how long it will take to get big
Frontosas have a very long life span...so they grow slowly ( sort of like the geo suramiresi, slow growing fish)...reaching breeding size at 3rd to 4rd years of age. With good care and enough space they can easily reach 25 years. I wouldn't recommend just to have one...they do very well in groups with a male to female ratio of 1:4. they grow really big...a well fed male is about 14 inches reaching 16 easily. Cheers!
Agreed In captivity its much easier on the Mother to strip them and get her back to eating as well. This gives the babies and mother a much better chance of survival. Frontosias often swallow their brood in captivity.
Who says it has to be natural? If the babies are not taken from the mother, It's possible for them to be killed. In the wild the babies would have enough chance to spread out, not in a tank. So the very essence of your question is illogical, being that keeping them in a captivity is not naural...
oh, i ask because i heard that oscars dont eat when mouthbrooding, so they get really weak, and i thought since they were in the same family they do the same

Wouldn't it be better if you had a larger bowl, and stripped it while the mother fish was in the water?

Some Frontosa variants will not care for their offspring full term in captivity. They are stripped about a week before that happens usually.
