Here are some goldfish in the new setup until I decide what to do about the Africans. The pH is very nice and steady at 8.1, compared to 7.4 out of the tap. This is completely the result of the aragonite sand. I'm going to leave the goldies in residence for a couple of weeks and then order my frontosa.
I'm reading more and more about them and it seems that the best bet is to have no tankmates - they can be either nippy and damage the trailing fins, stressing the fronts, or they will be too small and become meals for the fronts.
I think I might try a colony of N. leleupi, some of my favorite Lake Tang species, and see how it goes, especially while the fronts are small.
