Frontosa Discussion

[myjohnson]

i meant to say I WASNT being a jerk. I'm not doubting anybody's skills. I guess i'm very bias about these fish because i love em so much and just want every one of them to be as well taken care of as possible. I really meant no disrespect.

I know man, I'm F'ning with you. I feel you on the fronts. Bad@$$ fish. Fronts are my first love when it comes to tangs.

Let me know what you guys think of these fish?

[myjohnson]

Bad@$$ dude!

Look at the blue in them boys!

Put the right background, sand, and rocks. = WOW!

[supadave]

They look pretty sweet to me !!! Look at that big boy at the bottom !!!!

[mgarrido]

Wow Ram, that big boy is not a moba... it's a mobydick

[myjohnson]

I was told he is 10+".

I also like the looks of fronts on deep blue back ground, dark brown sand, and round rocks.

Mobas can be a bit skittish compared to other fronts. They can swim into rocks and cut their eye so round rocks will help avoid this.

Caribsea Eco Complete African Cichlid Sand and black or green granite imo

I was thinking black sand, black background, and holy rocks with only big holes.

I like the black sand black background combo. Here is a picture of what my F1's looked liked before I killed them. This is not a full tank shot but you can still see how much blue they show on a dark setup.

You have already received alot of good info here regarding wc mobas. They are probably the most challenging cypho/front to breed......not to dissuade you. For your size tank I would go 2m/10f+. Start out with the best quality you can afford. I bought mine back in Jan 2005 from Tyrone at TNT Cichlids. He is a great communicator and shipper. I just purchased 3 nice wc females a few months ago and 1 has already spawned!!! Pretty cool.

If you need any help or advice, just shoot me a pm or post here. Not taking away from this site, but you can get alot of information at www.cyphos.com as well about mobas and other zaire varieties. I have been keeping fronts since 1988, but I have learned alot there and am still learning.

My 2 wc moba males are over 11"+. My wc moba mommas are anywhere between 5" to 8". I like using white sand........CaribSea's Aragonite Select and Texas Holey Rock with a light blue background. Just bought 4 50/50 lights and they are really choice.......they bring out the blues of the mobas even more.

I've got fry in my floating nursery that are on-hold for 2-3 customers and have 4 egg-bound F1's in the tumbler right now. Life is good my brothers.
