The frontosa cichlid is commonly found in several large lakes in East Africa, including the world’s second-longest freshwater lake: Lake Tanganyika. The fish spends most of its time in the lake’s depths, surfacing only to find food.
Frontosa cichlids have bold colouring, with five to seven dark bands on a pale or dark blue body. These African cichlids are semi-aggressive and have instinctive territorial behaviours. Frontosa are popular with aquarists due to the fish’s ease of care and beautiful colours, despite the fish’s occasional behavioural issues.
Frontosa are Omnivorous – Does well with flake or pellet food. Can be fed freeze-dried or frozen krill or plankton as a treat.
