well, i just caught this thread, and i totally agree with mike bethesdaboy, imo, there are several others that look evry bit as good and are wayyyyyy less money, ie; zambians, they are amazing looking fronts with intense blue and run ~$70 for wc subadults.

just my 2cents

please do post pics of them when they come in and get settled, heck if you want, i can come by and take some possible potm pics for you of your new fronts

I will let you know when they all settle in.

what fish do you keep as tank mate with your frontosas?

bn plecos are the only tankmates now. In the past I have kept nics, a freshwater flounder, leopard eels.......with my wc mobas. I kept some cyps for a while as an experiment.......did not work. I little guy.......the blue male made it for about a week.

What happened Dave?

Breaker tripped in my garage during that couple of really cold days that we had and I basically froze the fish.

You have already received alot of good info here regarding wc mobas. They are probably the most challenging cypho/front to breed......not to dissuade you. For your size tank I would go 2m/10f+. Start out with the best quality you can afford. I bought mine back in Jan 2005 from Tyrone at TNT Cichlids. He is a great communicator and shipper. I just purchased 3 nice wc females a few months ago and 1 has already spawned!!! Pretty cool.

If you need any help or advice, just shoot me a pm or post here. Not taking away from this site, but you can get alot of information at www.cyphos.com as well about mobas and other zaire varieties. I have been keeping fronts since 1988, but I have learned alot there and am still learning.

My 2 wc moba males are over 11"+. My wc moba mommas are anywhere between 5" to 8". I like using white sand........CaribSea's Aragonite Select and Texas Holey Rock with a light blue background. Just bought 4 50/50 lights and they are really choice.......they bring out the blues of the mobas even more.

I've got fry in my floating nursery that are on-hold for 2-3 customers and have 4 egg-bound F1's in the tumbler right now. Life is good my brothers.

Here is a picture of what my F1's looked liked before I killed them.

I like the black sand black background combo. Here is a picture of what my F1's looked liked before I killed them. This is not a full tank shot but you can still see how much blue they show on a dark setup.
