First front
« on: January 31, 2015, 04:55:35 PM »


Been looking for a frontosa for the big tank lately and happened to come across this guy today for what I felt was a really good price. He's about 6".

I think Blair is right, I vented it again and now I'm 75% sure he's a she. No problem though, I'll still hug her and love her and squeeze her and call her Georgette lol

What's the characteristics that show it's a female though just from looking at it? Just so I have that knowledge for future fish.

Same here.  At 6" a male should have a hump.

Does it count as a kok or is that restricted to New World species?

On the bright side, she won't grow as big and is less likely to eat tankmates in the future.

That's restricted to Flowerhorn.
