Burundi again. Very nice looking alpha male IMO. To make it easy so you don't have to post all the time. If you see a straight line going top to bottom through the eye then it is Burundi. all othes have zorro masks or upside down "L"

Thanks.
I heard that they get dark from being stressed, i also heard that the alphas sometimes get dark.
Do you think this one will keep being dark?

There is no way of telling I have seen some stay dark, most do not.

Ok thank you.
Most of these people sell them as Gibberosa, and the prices are high.
Are there any vendors that sell Burundi, and ship to Denmark?

Gibberosa and Frontosa are the actual names Burundi, Mpimbwe, Moba, Zaire are the collections points. all collection points used to fall under Frontosa but now they have been separated under Gibberossa and Frontosa as DNA testing have shown they are different fish. (They seem the same to me and will interbreed) I can't remember which collection points fall under Gibberosa and which fall under Frontosa that you will have to look up.

Burundi falls under Frontosa.

For $456. Looks a little bit too pricey for that assortment. Could talk it down a little more.
