I purchased these two from the LFS, but they didn't know the origin of the fish and was wondering if anyone could help. Also they have some fin damage and was wondering the best way to help heal that.

No idea on the type... But as for fin damage, in my experience, nothing helps more than super clean water. Keep the nitrates under 10ppm and the fins will heal in no time.

the blue one with black stripes looks like a frontosa I would kill to get one of those to.

I think the original poster knows they're frontosa, but would like the know the type of Frontosa.....

Blue Zaire Frontosa
Burundi Frontosa
Kavalla Frontosa
Blue Kasanga Frontosa
Kigoma Frontosa
Blue Sambia Frontosa
Blue Ikola Frontosa
Blue Mpimbwe Frontosa

:nilly:

Are the ones I have found listed... but I have no idea which is which:(
 
i know some of the more experienced owners know the differences between the origins. I know for sure they aren't the ikola or zaire. The coloration and stripes tell that.

Most likely they are burundi, most common type and they seem to look like them as well.
