i am no expert.
quality wise depending on individual fishes.
i have seen very good quality burundi.
i have also seen weird looking ones...
burundi is not rare and expensive.
but it will be pretty rare to find nice burundi nowadays.
a lot of inbreeding and hence a lot of weird looking ones

comm with tigers? i guess it is possible. but will the water parameters be all right to suit both fishes?

For tigers , PH is about 6.8 to 7.2 . Is it the same for frontosa ? Saw a bro post some burundi for sale , quite tempted cos I like the Kok heads ... Apart from PH , any other things to take note bro ?

7.5 onwards to 8.5
i think i recall some bros mentioned 9.0 before
other things to note are temp, tank size... hiding space and the food they eat... infact, i dont think burundi may get enough food if comm with tigers.

why dont you keep a full tank of tanganyika fishes? so much easier to comm
tangan with other tangan... or a tank of many burundi alone? [like TS]

someone's burundi colony from online.

very nice cave setting!!! .. for my setup think some mini canopy can work out... thanks for the input.. will hunt down some other fronts today ... advisable to get bigger fronts ?

Get the same size as ur current 2 pieces if u can. If not, half inch bigger shldnt be much difference.

bro my advice is not to mix them.
1)diff waer parameters
2)diff growth rate,ur tigs will definitely outgrow e fronts
3)totally diff temperament tt wun match
4)all e above causing stress to e fish

I saw Seaview comm a 6 inch Red Frontos with Tigers and a few other big fishes. Looks very peaceful. Somemore its a bare tank.
