Lake Tanganyika Species • I have 10 frontosa's I'm not sure

[Frontosa Mark]

just to let you know I have bought a 72" 24" 24" brand new tank off ebay for £295 I'm just waiting for it to be delivered which is a pain because I have to wait up to 3 weeks
But when it arrives I'm changing the substrate and putting a pictured back ground on the back of the tank rather than painting it black (which is why the Frontosa are a dark colour I hope) I have listened to what you all have said and thank you for your information

Only use salt as a medication if your fish have ich.

72x24x24 is an all round good size tank, and is one of the ones I have. I recommend 50% or more per week WC. I do 75%. Shoot to keep your nitrates at 20ppm or lower and you will be good.

For water changes I use a Python water changer. Instead of letting my tap water run when emptying the tank I use a water pump which is quicker and I don't waste all that water running the tap. The python hose ends are 3/4" Hose Threaded and I have a water pump that has 3/4" Pipe Threaded outlet so I use a 3/4" Hose Thread to Pipe Thread adapter. All the water pumps I've seen are Pipe Threaded so that's something to be aware of.
