Diet: Offer high-quality cichlid pellets and flakes, supplemented with live or frozen protein-rich foods like krill and fish. They are carnivorous.
-
Tank Size: A 125-gallon tank or larger is recommended for a group of Zaire Blue Frontosas, providing room for their size and territorial nature.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable water conditions with a pH of 7.8-9.0, a temperature of 72-80°F (22-27°C), and excellent water quality through efficient filtration.
-
Compatibility: Frontosas are generally peaceful but can be territorial with their own kind. Keep them with other large, non-aggressive cichlids in a species-specific or well-structured tank.
-
Tank Decor: Provide large rocks, caves, and open swimming areas to create territories and hiding spots. Customize the decor to match their natural habitat.
