Black Widow Frontosa!

[krichardson]

I came across it while searching other subjects on the internets.Anybody had or heard of them?

I've heard of them and seen pics, never kept them. Not really my thing, but they go for a pretty decent price.

Here is a photo of two juveniles.

Hmmmm, interesting, never seen them or even heard of them before. Some kind of mutated pattern, or are they supposed to breed true to this pattern?

There was a big discussion on Cyphos.com in 2007 regarding this fish and it was thought it's the result of line breeding Burundi for the pattern. Also called a Panda Frontosa and possibly other silly names.

Ya I understood it to be a line bred variant, pretty cool looking!

Thanks Dee, sounds like another "Made in China" cichlid.

I certainly wasn't aware that they have been around since 07.

Actually, I think it was "Made in Singapore" and not China.
