Growing Frontosa "Mpimbwes"

[dragonfish70]

Here are some mpimbwes I got from teipei22 from a month ago. Purchased about 28. Very nice blues indeed high quality no mooning nothing wrong with them. Already being handfed brineshrimp. Attractive and interactive. The one measured is one of the smallest in the batch. Any thoughts/comments/questions let me know. They grow very fast past few months then slow down.

Mooning is when the black bars split at the ends and fade white. They are considered a undesireable quality in a front for breeding.

Nice fish!

Here are some full tank shots and to show how interactive they are even if only 2 days into their new 135 gallon tank!

Either by inbreeding or poor diet. Some frontosa fry just dont show enough pigments in the first stages this is where good lighting, food, abd water changes come into play.
