my new frontosa kigomas

[iandraco]

picked up a trio of f-1 frontosa kigoma from my buddy in walla walla this weekend. i'm really stoked about them. love them already. once i get a little more $ i'll fill out the group with fish from a couple different blood lines. they are currently in my 125 with my burundi i am growing out till i can get my money back out of them. none of these fish are breeding age so no risk of hybrids. here's a few pics.

Wow! You finally got them! Looks just like our banner picture now! lol..... they are gorgeous, no mooning, and looks like lots of gold in the dorsal... perfect kig specimen... good job. where'd you get em?

my buddy in walla walla was thinning out his colony. he bought a bunch of fry from 3 different sources. he had too many for his 150 and wanted them to go to a good home. he gave me a great deal considering the size. 5" male and 2 4" females. he even let me pick the females i wanted. i'm really stoked. they are beautiful.

the first and 5th pics were taken with the lights out upon releasing them in the main tank. they were a little stressed from the trip. that's why they look so dark.

Nice to see they are doing well.....I have baby Cyps coming out of my ears right now hope you can get some soon.

me too. love the mask on those bismarks. they look like an XL Zaire mask. so cool.

The Bismarks act like puppies, they swarm the corner where I drop food in. I love the way the stripes go into the dorsal fin. nice blue color early, but more aggressive than the Kigs at a smaller size.
