Chris Tschumy Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hi I am new to keeping frontosa and have bought 3. Just wondering if anyone could tell me the variety and if possible the sex. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelio2 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 They look like mpimbwe or ikola to me but not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydashton Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Unfortunately you wont be able to get a variant from the pictures mate. What where they sold as. They are a tanzanian variant but thats really as far as you can go. Best to ask the person you purchased them from. The male looks good and with some good clean water changes that female should heal up fast too (as long as the aggression isnt to bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efc Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 They have potential to be stunners by the looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tschumy Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I couldn't say no to buying them from the shop. The shop owner is trying to track down the variety from his supplier. I was just hoping to find out so if and when they breed I know what I am selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
