Fishman Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi Shell Are you getting your fronts overthere from Darren aka Sealord, he's got some nice fronts on his website. My fronts are doing well and growing fast the biggest is nearly hitting the 4 inches mark. Once again thanks for giving us the chance to have this wonderful fish.

Freakyfish Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hey guys Hopefully I will helping shell get some really nice frontosa from here Darrens fish are amazing Very Very good quality Frontosa Also guys I would just be calling your frontosa simply frontosa Unless they were Imported as Burundi which Shell has told us didnt happen then no location can be right Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimbochromis_freak Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 you are right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 We are going around in circles. :lol: " look" like kigamo,but they are C.Frontosa. Well they didn't really, to those that have seen or kept real Kigoma. As Brad said, they are only called frontosa, as this is what all old school fronnies around the world are called. The story of the heritage is explained in a link I put up. They most likely stem back to the burundis, as explained. But you will never be 100% sure of that unless DNA is done. Its no biggy, look at all the other old school cichlids...electric yellows, black calvus, brichardi etc, all the newly exported have variants. Just the old school ones don't. Darrens are nice, he is a bit of a fronnie nut. Here we now have German Imports & wild caughts available from importers. I would, befriend a shop owner, say I want a few of these guys"variant", go to the wholesaler yourself{take shop owner too lol} & pick out exactly what you want. A friend of ours did exactly that with his Ikolas. Brad has put pics up of those. very nice!!! Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannet Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 well i stil love them and i know alot of other people love them to... and at the end of the day isnt it the love that counts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyfish Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yes definalty love counts though only if you plan to keep these guys if you want to breed them then its more about the fish Though this also depends on what is available as Frontosa are fairly rare still over there it doesnt help you much Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I was afraid someone was going to say that The 8ft is in the back of my mind but that can wait off a couple of years :roll: Regards Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Understandable, and good things take time huh It is funny tho, we got our 8ft Fron tank and about a week after getting it, it was a case of "ummm I guess we could have gone an extra two foot, or at least one" :roll: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
