Could you please confirm the species of fronts I have? I just set up a tank for 7 of these little ones... The store had them labeled as Zaire blue fontosa (Moba??) Please let me know, I've glance at the other threads but Im no expert, they look legit, then again I could be wrong.. thanks

Actually all 7 are the same.. I'll take some more pics and post later tonight, lighting wasn't great and the camara was sub par..

I actually paid $120 each, they are about 4-5inches.... reading the different info on here, I think I have 2 males, 4 females and the last one is on the fence....

Did I pay the average price or was I taken for a ride?
 
Well, they have a mask so that is good news right there (at least they are not burundi LOL). I think they look zaire but im not a expert. I think that i should let someone who keeps zaire comment on the price issue since i dont have any myself. I have Mpimbwe and that would be a bit steep for those, but not sure on half grown fish what the normal price range is since i buy 1 inch juvies and grow them out so the fish i buy are alot cheaper. :)
 
I'm not expert, but the fins look like Zaire fins. If they are Zaire they get HUGE and you'll need a very good size tank. I saw a video of a male in an aquarium that must have been 14 inches long.
