Anyone ever heard of putting fronts and Paratilapia in the same tank?

Fronts grow much slower&  will probably be killed

True. Screw it, who needs a couch. Ill just get 2 135+ tanks and have a group of both...Think the women will notice?

The Paratilapia will eventually end up going from a group to a pair,  then maybe just one.
You don't have to go big right away.  The last Bleekeri I kept was raised in a 50breeder until 8".

Is Paratilapia hard to get keep a breeding group going?

Definitely
You're gonna want a pair, like with breeding CA/ SA's
