Frontosas

The Frontosa is the undisputed monarch of the African Rift Lakes. Known for their striking blue-and-white (or black) vertical banding and the majestic nuchal hump that develops on mature males, Frontosas bring a sense of calm and grandeur to the aquarium. Unlike the frantic energy of other African Cichlids, Frontosas are “gentle giants”—moving with a slow, deliberate grace that commands respect in any large display.
