Need Suggestions For Setting Up Frontosa Tank

[JMJ99]

I was wondering if anyone was willing to share pictures of their Frontosa tank setups or just their ideas? I am in the processing of getting a 125 gallon to move my fish into and am just looking for ideas and suggestions as to how to set it up and what type of lighting people use, pretty much anything.
Thanks.

The best advice I can give is to make sure you have the top of the tank covered well.  Frontosa tend to jump when startled, especially when the lights click on and off.

I've got 6 in a slightly shorter tank, but the same footprint. I have a 4' 2-bulb fixture on the 6' tank, but only use a single bulb in it. The fronts don't like bright light, as live in the deeper depths of the lake and only venture shallower near dark to feed. If you get the right bulb 1 can light them up nicely.

Also don't go nuts with too much tank decor. I've got 3 rock structures, though 1 is shorter and less significant than the other two. I also went with a few natural-looking plastic plants to break up the tank a little bit, but unlike the rockwork the fish don't get injured if they spook into/through them. I setup a cave for the dominant male off to one end, then the rest spread apart throughout the rest of the tank.
