I am fostering 5 fish that need re-homing, including a rare over 10-inch Zaire Blue Frontosa. All five fish have lived together for a long time, and get along pretty well. The male and female Frontosa are a mated pair, who have produced successful clutches together in the past. We simply don't have the space or expertise to care for them long term, and would love for them to go to a loving home with someone who really appreciates them. The fish I have include:

**!!RARE!! ~10" Mature Male Zaire Blue Frontosa w/ perfect fins - $200
**2" Female Zaire Blue Frontosa - $80
**4" Peacock Cichlid - $20
**6" Plecostomus - $20
**5" Tropheus Duboisi - $40

PACKAGE DEALS
**Zair Blue Frontosa Mated Pair - $250
**All 5 Fish - $300

I am open to selling the fish together or separately. If you were going to separate any of the fish from the group, I would recommend taking the Duboisi alone, as he doesn't get along as well with the other fish. If you are planning to take only the Duboisi and/or the Peacock Cichlid, I also have a 40 gallon aquarium available for sale that would make a great home for them! However, it is too small for the Frontosa or the Plecostomus.

ALSO INCLUDED:
**Fish Food
**Aerator Pump & Stones
**Water Chemicals
**AND MORE!!!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

T turtlechick I must inform you that both frontosa are very common Burundi types. The straight line through the eye to the forehead is a dead give away, and Blue Zaire don’t get the giant nuccal hump yours is sporting. The 2” female cannot have produced fry. They don’t mature sexually until 3.5-4 years old at which point they’re usually 5-6” minimum.
Your “peacock” cichlid is a Lake Victoria cichlid of some sort. Definitely not a peacock from Lake Malawi.
If these were the names of these fish when you purchased them they were very definitely mislabeled.
Sorry 😞
This is a large blue Zaire male…
