That's awesome I want to do an all Frontosa tank. I just don't want to pay the high cost off them.

They will never be a cheap fish, but they don't seem to be as crazy price-wise as they used to be. Especially if you have the patience to grow out juvies.

Nice! How big are they?

 

[neut]

Nice looking group. How old are they?

Few years ago, now, I went back to doing new worlds after years of primarily keeping and breeding Africans. The one African setup I kept are my Kapampa fronts. After doing fronts in some form or another for over a dozen years, and having Kapampa specifically over 7.5 years, I still really enjoy them.

Neut, they are still fairly young, ~ 8-9 months only, in a few months I'll take out two of the males leaving only the dominant male or I may look for a trade for a Alpha before they start to breed. I love this colony thou,

Thought they looked young, but they look nice.

Not unusual ime for females to start producing eggs/spawning at 18 months or so. Had a Burundi once that started spawning at 15-16 months. But I haven't seen a male successfully fertilize the eggs before about 3 years or so and some take longer.
