I live in longview washington and i have waited over a year to get a frontosa. This last month they have been flooding our area so i have been buying them as i see them. But last night about 1:30 in the am i went to walmart for an emergency run for baby formula and i had just happen to walk by the fish tanks and noticed that there was a juvenile frontosa being harrassed by some mbunas. So i bought him for $5.00 cheapest frontosa ive ever seen. He has more blue on him than any of my others.
 
make sure you quarantine him before adding him with your other fish :thumbsup: that place is notorious for carrying diseased fish. what type of frontosa did they have anyway?

One of my best fish ever was a burundi frontosa from petco for 5 dollars sold as a electric blue cichlid. His name was Prometheus.
 
I know they tanks are worse than petco's. I did quarantine and treat the fish prior to putting him in with the others. I am not sure what kind he is they labeled him as an assorted cichlid. They didn't even know what it was
