Yep all males. I might add maybe 1 or 2 more big males, but that would be it.

Added some DIY moonlighting to the frontosa tank so now all the tanks have moonlights. Nice way to sit back and watch the fish after a long day working on.

Damn, those are looking BEAST in the 6' tank Steve!
So did you end up putting all of the ones you picked up from me in this tank?

Someone on another site asked for some updated pics of this tank, so figured I might as well post the updated pics here as well. Tank is doing really well. All the fronts are happy and healthy, they eat a mix of NLS pellets, Algae wafers, flake food, a mix of plecocaine and krill as a treat every once in awhile. Starting to get a slight bit of algae on the background and rocks and plants which gives it a nice look now. In addition to to fronts I've also added a nice Lelelupi, a gold face comp, and a good size king tiger pleco from Jon. Plan to add some more leleupi but will probably wait till after my 2 week fishing vacation at next month to do that. Don't want to make any changes before I leave for 2 weeks.

Leleupi came from Al about 2 months ago when he was selling them, not sure where he got them. There were two of them up till about a month ago.....were being the key word there lol
