Thanks Jon, nice looking fish. Met a guy from bloomington at the auction last week. He invited me to his fish room today. What a setup it was!!
Some of the best looking fronts i ever seen.

I'm not usually a fan of the "humped head" cichlids but Frontosa are the exception. I believe they are slow to mature and spawn.

I know a guy who has a huge, beautiful Front tank.  White sand with a pile of holey rock in the center. He added an additional piece if holey rock at each end for Julies he got from me. It's such a clean show piece for the fish.

Would love to see pictures of your Frontosa.

If I was to do a bigger African cichlid it would be the fronts.  Do you know what sub species they are? I have a friend that was breeding Mpimbwe fronts. They had such pretty blue colors.
