Default Tretocephalus & Sexfasciatus vs Frontosa

Dear all,

Please give me advise.

I am having dilemma on keeping Tretocephalus & Sexfasciatus or just fronsota. My tank definitely cant fit in all 3.

Some factors to consider are the tank mates and tank size. Fronts would be a better choice imo.

Abstract from seriouslyfish.

Source :http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species...-sexfasciatus/
http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species...tretocephalus/

An aggressive, territorial and predatory species whose tankmates should be chosen with care. It can be maintained successfully with other medium-sized Tanganyikan cichlids that occupy different areas within the tank such as Cyprichromis sp. Other rockdwellers such as larger Julidochromis or Altolamprologus sp. are possibilities if the tank is large enough and sufficient territories are provided. It can even be kept with Mbuna. It is very aggressive towards conspecifics and only a single pair should be kept in all but the largest tanks.
