Joe they are lovely looking fronts...I have a question though...are you saying this is a "Zairie Kapampas" species only tank or is there Burundi's in with them? I ask because the 2 in mid shot at least look distinctly like Burundi's with the straight vertical bar through the eye and protuberant nuccal hump typical of Burundi's (and not as typical for Zaire's)...they don't seem to have the tell tale "hood" or "mask" over the eyes that Zaire's typically have...

I am not trying to be a stickler it's just that you have been looking for females (likely for breeding) and I am not convinced that you wouldn't be crossing Gibb's with Front's with what you have there if you go that route...

sold all my other one's  this is a new bunch got from a guy in canton , its the blue light when the regular  light on you can really tell a big difference but then that's what he said the breeder told him  just got to get these to breed for me, takes time but i think it going to happen got to play some barry white herd that works lol  only kapampa in the tank bought all together  but you could be right but had burundi before an there is a big difference  between these an them , they have the hood an a lot more blue , but you know alot more then me

thanks for the explanation Joe...it is hard to tell from the angle the fish are on in the picture...they are very attractive fish either way...can you get some clearer side on shots?
