    A pretty decent temp for frontosa would be at least between 79*F-82*F. I've never kept frontosa before but, I've known people and help people with theirs! Frontosa are Lake Tanganyika cichlids, and usually would prefer a pH of between 7.5-9.0 and the water hardness should be around 12 to 15 dGH. They are colony fish and will to grow about 16" needing a minimum of 70 gallons but, for a colony at least 125G.
