Not confuse bro,if i not wrong there are 3 types of frontosa. Cyphotilapia frontosa ie: 1. (Northern) Burundi, Kigoma, bulu point. 2. (Eastern - South Eastern) Gibberosa Tanzanian ie: Mpimbwe, Ikola, Samazi and 3. (South west - West) Gibberosa zaire ie Moba, kapampa and the Moliro...

In fact take zaire for example, there are Moba, Kapampa, tembwe, moliro, kitumba etc. If the zaire were caught in Moba area then they are call Zaire moba. Like Chinese in Sinapore, we call Singaporean chinese or Chinese in Malaysia are call Malaysian chinese. They are the same. At first confuse, but once you are into front, you will soon graduate and can even speak African. Haha this one joking.
Hope it will help.

Fishes that are more rare and hard to come by will naturally be more expensive.

Thus, some frontosa are all over the market while some are not.

Once u get them familiar w u, they will eat practically anything u throw in...for, me, I am sticking to MP and sinking pallets like the Hikari brand.Basically any sinking food..reason being, Fronts r bottom dwellers an they r not able to disperse air out of their system, thus they ended up with "Floating" issue if they grub food from surface

Well explained and i got the picture now.

I don know anything about them but was SEDUCED by them at the LFS near my place. Don know what is the actual breed or where it origin from but can see that it is blue.

Cost is $120 at about 3inches plus.

Nice fish to keep in a group...but burundi which is the cheapest, can be quite fierce...
