What are the different kinds of Frontosa's out there? I am going to buy some at half an inch but i don't know how to tell if they are true blue one or not. the guy is selling them for $15.00 and he claimes they are the zaire blue ones. Are there different species or different scientific names for them. i found them expensive for the size they are.

Ask to see the adults. Only then will you be able to tell. If they are true Zaire you will love them but Kapampa and Moba (both Zaire species) are the ones that fetch the most money. If they don't know what they have you might want to hold off cause the other variants are much cheaper.
Odds are they are regular Burundi's......
The seller would know what variant they own and breed.....Frontosa's are not an easy fish to care for or breed.....
For that price they would more than likely be Burundi's.....I would hold off until tehy reach atleast over an inch to even buy them....due to most fry not making it to that size....and they are very sensitive to different water and might not make the exchange from tank to tank....
If you really want Frontosa's I suggest buying juv, or adults....
You can find them on aquabid.com.......I suggest you only buy them if you have the tank space.....125gal min! and reas up on them
in atleast a 1m/2f trio....tehy dont do so well solo.....
