  • Where my Frontosa people at?

    So I was wondering who all keeps Frontosas. I dont mean " I have one or two in my mixed African tank". I mean, "I am in love with these fish so I keep a lot of them and will never trade them for Tropheus". Here are my guys. There are 8 F1 Mpimbwe Frontosas. Not sure of the ratio just yet because they are just over a year old. Lets see your pics
    Small group shot.

    This was taken just a few minutes ago. This is the same pair that is in my avatar pic

    Another shot of the guys

    Taken with no flash and all the lights on in the tank.

        Unfortunately, I don't have all of these guys anymore, but I still have a few of the dark blue moba and some of the wmipbwe ....I will post some newer pictures soon, I now have maybe 25 frontosa in a 135 gallon tank...I plan to thin their numbers in the near future.

          Sweet pics guys. I have GOT to get my hands on some Mobas. When I bought my Mpimbwe I had no idea what Mobas where. I was still very green. Then a batch of baby Mobas came in the same shipment as my Mpimbwe and I distinctly remember thinking, "damn, i bought the wrong ones", but I love the Mpimbwe too.
