    Looking For/Want to Buy Moba Frontosa

    As the title states, I am looking to buy some Moba Frontosa. I currently have 6 F1s and want to add a few more juveniles to this group. The 6 I currently have are all around 3"-4" so around that range would be great, but at the end of the day smaller or larger is fine as well. I don't have...
