Kapampa Frontosa

[McPhishy]

A breeder is selling 1" kapampas for $20, here is a pic. Can someone tell me if these are really kapampas? Is this a good price, or should I be looking somewhere else? Are kapampas as intense of a blue as mobas?

No idea. Fronts aren't my thing (I think all fronts are over priced). I have heard of ppl buying F1 front fry (don't know variant) for $20 each.

If you like em, and think they are reasonably priced, get em.

I can't see there eye bar to clearly but it does not look like a zoro mask which a kapampa should have as they are zaire fronts if you can get a better pic make sure the mask is a zoro mask which will cover the forehead and eyes and come down the face. If this is a reputable breeder you should be fairly safe check him out and 20 sounds like a good price I'm not sure which zaire isthe bluest they are all fairly blue.

Anyone else? The fronts are 1" and 2.5". Can anyone post a good example of an adult kapampa frontosa?

Not quite an adult:

~4.5" sub-adult kampampa: (now nearly 6" since this photo was taken)

Here are some more pics of the older frontosa the seller sent me. Can someone please help me out?

They look like zaire fronts you can only take his word they are kapampa as I have been told there is no way to tell the zaires apart either way they will be beatiful blue fronts. We have mobas and they are stunning. Good luck and the price you quoted sounds great my wife paid 50 for our first moba at that size.

So they look like Zaires correct? I really don't care which of the variant it is as long as it is a Zaire. From the first pic, the fronts are only 1" and 2", they look like Zaires too right? The ones from the 1st pic are the ones I'm actually getting. The 2nd and 3rd pics are older Zaire Kapampas the seller previously sold.

any chance you could tell us who the seller is? someone on here may have purchased from them before which might help you figure out if they are reputable and what not. They look like ziare to me... and $20 isnt bad.

He goes as SirBailey on Mitten State Cichlids, real name is Gary. Does the first pic look like Zaires as well?
