Just got 5 for free from my brother and was wondering if anyone could give me some infos on them. Thanks
 
congrats fellow hmong hobbiest..but you"ll need a 6foot long tank for them unless they are still under the 4inch mark..also..they usually do better in a colony with less males so hopefully you have a 1m to 4f ratio..males tend to get aggressive against each other and usually if there are too many males within a colony..the fins/trailers dont get really long..they are relatively easy to get bloat if water quality isnt good and feed them New Life Spectrum(u dont have to but the majority of cyphos owner do) =P..and if you have more questions..go to www.cyphos.com home of the frontosa/cyphotilapia =D..best of luck to you and your new colony..

if you really want to get to the details on fronts you can google. youll find all sorts of info regarding the front online! for full grown fronts you do need a 6ft tank. the fronts are piscovores. i feed mine dainichi xl pro, omega one, and nls. they like dim lights and are startled very easy. theyre mouthbrooders. they like to eat snicker bars and pancakes. sometimes they like their bellys scratched too.
 
Terrible fish you should ship them to me asap and Ill get rid of them for you.



Oh well didnt think that would work.Probably the best looking of the fronts fry go for $30 each on a good deal,so thats a major score congrats.
 
6ft+ sand+ rocks :-D
 
I think everything has been covered.
