What kind of front's would you start out with?

[gomezladdams]

moba or kapampa youre going to have to pony up $25-$40 each for fry
Mpimbwe are what I went for,good color more outgoing than most fronts and can be had for $10-$15 each.

I just got off the phone with the TNTcichlids guy. He was saying that moba's seem to be more aggressive than other fronts. Is this true? If so, i think i would rather go with something different. I want vivid colors but i don't want a lot of aggression in the tank... been there and done that

I think agression is more due to environment not species.

But I don't know for sure.

I know that my fronts were very skidish and shy. Almost insulting how they hid from me every time I tried to watch them. Any movement in the room and they would dart for rocks to hide behind.


My girlfriend thought they were so boring, said "those fish are so lame, they don't do anything".

She loved my SA/CA cichlid tank though.

I would like to try Mpimbwe sometime.
There supossed to be very freindly and out going.

Not as vivid blue but atleast they might like me.


Burundi are the least expensive and the lowest in demand, due partly that they have been around the longest.
But the males get the biggest monster Hump on their foreheads. I think there pretty cool, if you could ever find true F1's and not just generic ones from the lfs.
