I was at one of my local LFS and there were some nice sized frontosa 8 inch male and some smaller ones around 4 inches they wanted 175 for the big male and 100 for the smaller ones. I couldnt beleive it.
way overpriced frontosa

Agreed with aspear if they are wild caught thats about the going rate i wouldn't pay that much for them but if they are tank raised or FL farmed raise too much and i would be on the sotra list as to their authenticity..

ok I tried to click on the link but my computer froze up it was a 6 stripe wasent very colerful more plain looking with black stripes It looked like the cheaper ones that most the fish stores sell around me.
Yeah be careful it could be a market scheme as for me i would want to see where little buddy got it from and provide some ref. if available..
The best way to obtain a great quality specimen would be to meet a dealer who has the parents on site anyone can say that they are wild caught, take care my friend..
