Just checking in. I keep African Cichlids, specifically Frontosa Kavala. I have a little colony of 9 right now, but will be expanding very soon.
This is my new Frontosa colony, I am growing them out in a 55 gallon. I will be cycling out the males over the next few years and adding more fish until I get an all female colony of about 15. Then I will move them to a 280 gallon colony tank and add a full grown wild caught male and have a breeding colony. It takes a long time and a lot of patience to develop a Frontosa colony. These particular guys are Kavala, my favorite fish. Right now there are 8 juveniles and one very young female adult and my pleco. She is a left over from my old African Cichlid tank. I really wanted to do a Frontosa colony so I took an opportunity to give all 30 of my other Africans to a friend and started the colony.CrashSmAshley said:Welcome to WFB! Do you have any pics?

Thanks!sidekicking said:Awesome pics dude

I get my wilds from an importer in Oakland CA.. his website is http://www.aquaticteknology.com/sandnuka said:Hey hey Fellow front lover!! kavala are gorgeous fish! why did you choose that variant? The colony looks great, very healthy, colors are beautiful, and love the tank itself, substrate, etc.
I know a couple great resources to get WC fronts too... I have never tried it your way though... read too much about adding any fish to an existing colony, alpha, small guys, male or female is a big mistake and death will occur. you obviously have a different source of information about it though.... I hope it all works out for ya.
Nope, GoBLue is not me..lol..I think he was just chiming in..lolsandnuka said:you have two profiles??? So youve done this before with introducing a WC later in a existing colony??? You made it sound like you havent done that yet??? anyway, did you get your kavala from the same breeder down there??? I rarely here of them.. because in the same area burundi, I didnt even know any variants besides the burundi came out of there until I looked it up.. lol
