Very nice piece!
Get a bigger tank for it with more hideouts & tankmates.

Fronts can grow up to 12inch or maybe more

The substrate thickness of your tank is fine. Frontosa like rocky caves so it is definitely a gd option. But your tank may hv space constraint.
First thing to ease aggression in your tank and to save the poor front which look v stressed, is to get a couple more fronts.
And if u hv not decided on the type of rocks yet, i suggest creating 1 or 2 small common canopy cave with 2-way entrances...
so no 1 front can own the cave.
Herewith, attached sample pics.

This is the side view of canopy cave.

Very nice rock work I love it, but you'll have headache if you ever decide to remove certain fish or carcass or when your altos decides to spawn in the caves.
