:(  :(  Must be the time of year or something, my big male Frontosa decided he was Superman & took a flying dive out of an uncovered 8x2x2 in my fishroom. Don't know when but I discovered him tonight under a bank of tanks while looking for the source of an unpleasant odour. Checked the 8 footer & sure enough, just two big females in there among the pots.

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Anybody need two big girls?

Bloody hell Doug, that is no good too.  :(

What size male Fronnie will you need if you are looking for one :?:  Maybe someone has one big man still in his prime..... it's such a shame, you have produced/sold some of the best fronnie babies going around :!:

Thanks for the condolences about my big frontosa, guys, he was a really nice male. I have a dozen female juveniles from him growing out at the moment that should be getting to breeding size later in the year & I have been planning on perhaps getting a couple of German imported males to put with them, so I will probably get rid of the two big females rather than get another big male at this stage. Any ideas on what I should ask for them, they are both nice straight fish with clean bars & are both well over 20cm?

Cheers, Doug
