Here is one for you.....baby Zaires (Moba blues and Ubwari blues). Note that the Ubwari are more like a Burundi, and are often referred to as the "blue" Burundi

Thank you very much,......... they are stunning...especially together this way...

Here are some of my mpimbwe (tanz) and Burundi frontosa . I took these today and some show the differences in coloration really well. Enjoy.

Here is one of my 2 inch mpimbwe gibberosa :

This fish has a purple tint to his blue that i cannot get to show in pics. Its a deep violet color in natural light with the naked eye. He is the most intensly colored of all my fronts. It is easy to id him cause he is missing half of the second ray in his dorsal fin.

The three stooges :

Here is one with my burundi and mpimbwe, you can see a big difference in the coloring :

Here is my alpha burundi :

Im not sure if this burundi is a big female or the beta male, it has surpassed the alpha male in size all ready and bullies the other fronts but not the alpha :

Here is another pic of this fish :

Here is a interesting side by side of the alpha burundi and mpimbwe juvie :

I have more pics and can take new ones as well if you would like more just let me know.

Frontosa like to be in a colony..and they grow very slow... so a few in your 55 gal by themselves would be fine until you could upgrade because later they would need more room as they grow over a foot... they are beautiful... and always worth quite a bit of money..
