Beautiful frontosa's. How big are they? What size tank are they in? It looks like that last pic is some youngsters in a different tank, did you breed them?

Hi Nite,
Thank you. I think my Alpha male is gaining on 10 inches. They are currently housed in a 300 gallon tank. Those are F1 juvies in a 150 gallon, I bred them from that colony yes.

Hi Joe !
Thanks for the nice pics!
Apparently you are state side...
everybody good?

Wow! Welcome back Joe! Great pictures, thanks for sharing them. I have a question, what kind of fish is that in the second picture under the largest front? I noticed the comps/calvus but not that one.

BTW, sweet looking fry. Let me know if you are ever looking to move any .

So how are things out in Texas? Have you thought about buying a pool and putting fish in it? Come on, it must have crossed your mind once with all that warm weather.

Up here it's cold and wet (we were expecting snow). Typical New England weather, when it's winter it's warm, in the spring it gets cold. lol. Oh well.

Hi Ned,
always my pleasure to share some pics
Unfortunately not stateside though, in Iraq still. My wife is doing a great job with the tanks, these are pics she takes for me, lol.

Hey Brian, Thats an aulonocara something mixed with something. Saw it in a local store when I was on leave and figured it would liven up the tank a bit.
Thanks, I actually owe some of those juvies to the guy that gave me a sweet deal on the 300 gallon, lol. I am hoping they are 4" by the time I get home from Iraq, they are already a lot bigger than the pics above.
There are only two females in my colony that will breed it seems, I think I ended up with more males than I wanted now that they are growing up. So I was thinking of finding someone to trade some f1 females with and adding them to the existing colony.
My wife tells me it has been warm in Texas but a couple of weeks ago they did get a wierd snow fall.

Sorry posted the last one twice on accident

Here are a couple pics of my juvies from last week. Don't mind the algae

Do you have any recent pics?

I wonder if he still visits this site....

Joe is a soldier based out of Texas
last I knew he was in Kuwait
but I haven't heard from him in a couple years
...Thanks Joe !

Hi Ned...thanks

Ive been back for a couple months now, that was a long 15 months, whew
Here are a couple updated tank shots. I just sent out 9 of my f1 sub adults purelly as a "fish-sitters" fee. Lets just say, I am moving to Savannah, GA in april and do not plan on driving with my adults. I thankfully found someone I can ship them to, who will fish-sit for a month or so.

Anyways, here is the 300g. Now with 13 moba Frontosa,

This is the largest guy out of the babies that I decided to keep


here is the beta, that has actually outgrown the alpha


Alpha

thanks for the update Joe!

I actually saw these actual fish when they were being
baby sat in Worcester, long time ago.

I sold some wild ones a couple years back to a local customer who got only 1 spawn that I know of so far...
I think his tank is too small, a 92 gallon corner.
