Frontosa

Featured Replies

Hi, would anyone know where i could get a hold of some frontosa, I have just set up a brand new Aqua one 4ft and would love to put a small colony in it. Your help will be greatly appeciated.

They are in the shop's up there aren't they? Otherwise one of the main breeders up there might contact you after he reads this..

I hope you're aware that a 4ft would only really be suitable for a small grow out tank and a colony should eventually reside it a large 5ft preferably a 6ft tank minimum..

Im aware that it can only take a few, thats why i said a small colony. Ive been breeding fish for over fifteen years now and would love to get a few of these, thanks for your reply though, hopefully someone will have some.

Hope you get some, they are not cheap.

You would be able to house only A FEW YES.

Will be in touch if we decide to save our young. (unless the Pictus get them first, lol)

Hi, yes i got a 4ft just to grow them up for the first one or two years and then will transfer them to a 8 ft.

I have at the moment 13 tanks altogether and have ample space for them.

I see they can be a bit pricey but have saved up for them so just waiting for someone who can offer me some.

Thanks for your reply.

Keep posting on here and keep your eyes out prices will be dropping when all the colonies start producing... I have also seen larger groups of older fish selling for reasonable prices on here..

Hey fishfever, I will have a batch ready shortly as one of the girly's is holding. The ones ready now are unfortunately spoken for but you are welcome to whatever she is holding now in a month or so. im in New Plymouth though? Something may come up sooner for you but if it does'nt you can have em for $25 each? just let me know if your interested. :wink:

I purchased some early this year. They grow very quickly and are a very rewarding fish to enjoy. The monkey grin on my picture is my grin since getting them. :lol: Some people think they are a expensive fish but I think well worth the money. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

how big were they when you got them and how big are they now, just after a rough idea how fast they actually grow, thanks.

hopefully ill have some soon to add to my tank, so freaking exciting lol

Hey Lynnie, pleased that you are still getting a buzz from the Fronnies. It hurt to see them go! Could you post pictures at some time? (please :D )
