frontosas

anyone here have in the past or currently keep frontosas (afrincan/tanganyika cichlids)?
- i am just getting started with a batch of unsexed fry but wondering what others are doing.
- i know they need lots of space and are kept in their own specie tank. i have learned that they don't like water movement (too much current) and are shy.

- what i'm mostly curious about is what do other hobbyists do for filtration for a frontosa tank? cannister? HOB? or something that we use for the reef overflow/fuge wet-dry.

what would be recommended givent they don't care for water movement and their particular need?

thx

like james i spent most of my freshwater years with new world cichlids and tropicals, i always swore by the aquaclear 110.... easy to maintain... creates good surface agitation/oxygenation, convienient to add or change filter media, was always good and reliable and inexpensive... infact still have one on my 75g reef

If I remember correctly Frontosas get fairly large with much food consumption and waste. I would go with a canister like Fluval or Rena XP.
