Frontosa - Mpimbwe

Mpimbwe Frontosa

Cyphotilapia gibberosa "Mpimbwe" type are one of most popular variants of frontosa. They are famous to be the most social and least shy of all the variants. Their blue is very nice on the navy blue side. My Wild Caught colony currently consists of a 1 male and 9 females.

Frontosa - Samazi

Samazi Frontosa

Cyphotilapia gibberosa "Samazi" type have been one of my favorite variants of frontosa since I've started keeping them many years ago. They are known to have stockier type bodies than other variants. Their blue is very nice and on par with Mpimbwe.

My colony currently consists of a wild caught Alpha male, several wild caught females, and several F1 adolescents.
