ID frontosa?

[Jimmy16]

Does anyone know what type of frontosa this is? male or female?

Looks like a moba, and the only way to be sure is to vent..

Not a bad deal, I paid $60 for my 3" Burundi, but I live in canada..

is there yellow in the dorsal fin? Can you get a another shot. Dark gravel will cause them to be darker and harder to tell.

hard to tell from that picture. we need a better one of the mask. there is some awesome blue in that fish. no matter what species it's a good deal for $35. He looks a little stressed/washed out

That's a Kigoma and it's impossible to tell the sex unless you vent.

From the picture it is hard to tell what type of frontosa. At 5" with little hump development, fish is probably a female.

looks like kigoma 7 striper to me! and fbesides the 7 stripes being a dead giveaway you can see the mask kind of flares out onto the gill plate. you will not see that in moba or burundi. show me a pic of the vent
