Anyone know much about their disposition? Are they similar to Neo Lamp Brichardi or Helianthus? I have heard that they are very territorial, even in large tanks. I'm unsure if they would work well in my 240 gallon, which is stocked with the following:

8 Neolamprologus Leleupi
5 Cyphotilapia sp. North Burundi
3 Eretmodus Cyanostictus North
2 Cyprichromis Microlepidotus Karilani

Help me, I'm lost. If the Walteri would not be good tankmates, I need suggestions.

They are more like helianthus than brichardi... not particularly great tankmates, but it depends on the length of the tank. The frontosa's once mature **might** keep the colony in check by eating any smaller members... but then they could easily eat the leleupi and Cyps which are their natural wild diet anyway. In a 8ft tank, you could certainly keep them confined to a certain area with a bit of work.
