Frontosa Cichlid, Captive-Bred - S - 1" to 2"
Cyphotilapia frontosa
Description
Frontosa Cichlid, Captive-Bred. The Frontosa African Cichlid is a fairly typical member of the Cichlidae family. Both sexes are characterized by a large frontal hump which will develop as the fish reaches maturity, or attains a length of around 4 inches. It is known by the scientific name of Cyphotilapia frontosa , but may also be known as Paratilapia frontosa , and Pelmatochromis frontosus . Originating from the deep waters of Lake Tanganyika, Africa, wild-caught specimens are not seen as often as captive-bred specimens in the hobbyist's aquarium. In their native Africa, Frontosa African Cichlids are considered a delicacy on the table. Although territorial, the Frontosa African Cichlid is generally not aggressive, but rather gentle and tolerant. It does well in a tank with plenty of rocks and caves for hiding and a sand.
