My new colony

[[enjoyable_attempt]]

I picked up 9 C. Frontosa "burundi" today for 50 bucks, it was a steal.

They are only 2-3" right now in a 55g to grow out for the 265. Its going to be a full species tank and I figured I would show pics of the colony.

Sorry I forgot to wipe the glass before I took the pics

And heres the larger 3 in the 265 already.

9 for $50??? Holly crap. At my local ps they're around $20.00 for a small, and 35.00 for a medium. And thats for 1 only. Heck of a score!

The big guys you have are cool! Great color. Congrats to you for sure.

Thank you thank you


I got them off my buddy that has a few breeding pair, he had to get them out of a 20L cause he had another bunch of fry he needed to move into that tank, originally he wanted 10 bucks a fry but he talked me into the whole lot for 50 bucks, I was really happy. Today and tomorrow I'm going to be redoing the rockscaping in my tanks to make the fronts more comfortable, can't wait to move the little guys into the big tank.

Thats just awesome. I paid 40.00 for mine and thought that was a steal... LOL I couldn't house 9 of them though.

Real nice group of burundi . I also have burundi , 7 of them and 11 mpimbwe. I think yours are showing signs of having nice blue color development when they get bigger. Great pick up.

Thanks, Ive seen the parents of this group, they actually do have beautiful blues for burundi. Its a really good strain of burundi actually, I'm going to snap some higher quality pictures soon to show the blue they developed already.

I have a 8" Dominant with a 8" P. Senegalus with no problems. And in a 125 you can do a colony of probably 8-10 till they get 6-8"
