The Icy Blue Gibberosa

The striking icy blue race.

thumbnail

Zambian frontosas usually have a distinct lighter blue, almost an icy blue some would say, and genuine zambians are quite easy to identify. It also has to be said that excellent wild specimens are very few and far between. It is interesting to note that fish collected towards Congo are deeper blue than those collected towards Tanzania. Good specimens are valued greater that the equivalent Kapampas, especially in other countries, again this is a subjective point of view. In the United Kingdom these fish are a lot cheaper than Zaire Blues compared to some other countries, but I suspect that outside the U.K. this difference in prices is due to local market forces, as there is certainly not the myriad of obstacles to overcome to collect frontosas in Zambia as there is in Congo. As there is pretty much a narrow band of water, compared to the rest of the lake, there does not seem to be the broad variation of colour varieties compared to fish at Congo or Tanzania. The Zambian frontosas I have seen has to be picked over with a careful eye as the intensity of the blue can vary so much. I am aware that the inter-action between males and females can preclude this being done with any great degree of success, however it is best to be patient and wait till there are several dozen fish to choose from or your retailer/supplier is in a position to do so. Most shipments are out of Lusaka International Airport, Zambia. Of all the striking blue races it does seem that these are somewhat easier to breed, and the great thing is the progeny, are astonishingly light blue all over even from a very small size. Also the more specialist, cichlid orientated, retailer will pay a good deal more for these offspring than any other, the exception of course are young f1 Zaires, which are usually sold privately and quickly.

There is not a lot more to be said about the frontosas that come out of Zambia, but for the ardent Zambian frontosa keeper there is a plethora of information about this strain on the internet, only as I have said before, that the more patient hobbyist will reap the reward of having these fine looking fish.
