hi guys, i have a friend that is asking me about on how to take care a frontosa.. he is about to buy 10 G1 Kigoma Frontosa Fry for $80.. do you think thats a steal? is Kigoma one of the best frontosa to keep? and also, please send us a link on how to take care of them.. pretty please? thanks!
 
Feed it sinking pellets... make sure you have a min. of 125gal tank... do regular water changes, give them hiding spots.. they will be skiddish for awhile.. watch them grow. As for price I ve seen them cheaper for 10 f1's and I have seen them cost more. They are one of the more common front's. IMO I dont think they are any better or worse to keep than any other frontosa.
 
thanks for the response.. we really appreciated it.. we have one more question.. will you recommend kigoma fry? or, you have a better frontosa to keep that you recommend? if so, what it is? thanks!
 
it really depends on what you want... if you want a blue/purple frontosa then go wtih fry from a zaire variant, but they will cost more. If you want a nice frontosa for a decent price then go with kigoma fry... if you really dont care then just get some burundis small or big they tend to be cheap. I personally keep kigomas and I like them a lot but I would also like to get some Kapampa's. It just depends on what you want. I wouldnt really say any one is better then the other it's more or less just what type you like and how much $$ you are willing to spend to get them.
 
What is nice to the eye is to the beholder...or something like that.:ROFL:

My personal favorite Frontosa are the Kitumba. A little harder to find and a little more money, but very pleasing to the eye.
