No way!
It's a frontosa from...... Tanganyika now in hummer's tank?
Check the brown forehead.... there's a family of those in Burundi.

Too bad people think they should live in colony, in a tank by themselves. Mine are doing fine among a douzen other species.

Enjoy yours.

Yeah, I generally hear that alot - Frontosas should be kept in colonies.

Pegasus: Are they fine on their own, or would they benefit ALOT better with others of their own species?

I don't know about leaving one alone like an oscar. My Burundi is alone with tropheus and aulonocara. My other Mpimbwe schools together among mbuna,peacock and tang. They tend to keep for themselves away from the others and have to fight for their food.

From that observation, I'd say that they would prefer a calmer tank, less fish (needind their own space). A tank of just frontosa is probably the best, nevertheless, a frontosa alone with peacefull tankmates  can also work well.
