Frontosa Cichlid
Frontosa Cichlid
The Frontosa Cichlid lives twenty five years and grows to about one foot. These are splendid cichlids and males grow a distinctive hump on their head. In fact the word frontosa is Latin for "big forehead". These fish are appropriate for a large species community or cichlid tank. Since they are difficult to breed and grow slowly like most Tanganyikans, they are a bit more expensive than their Lake Malawi cousins.
