Young juvenile stock of Frontosa Blue Mpimbwe (Cyphotilapia gibberosa Mpimbwe), a highly regarded Tanzanian locality known for developing deep blue body tones and bold markings as adults. At the juvenile stage, coloration is subtle and not yet representative of adult appearance. The intensity of the future blue depends greatly on water stability, low stress, high-quality diet, lighting, and long-term environmental conditions.

A slow-growing, peaceful yet impressive cichlid, the Mpimbwe Frontosa thrives in aquariums with rock structures, clean alkaline water, gentle flow, and the security of being kept in groups.

Fish Size Guide:

The 'Maximum Size' outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult. For the actual size please use the select menu above.

Discus.ae prefers younger stock for their better ability to adapt to new water parameters and higher tolerance against transport. On rare occasions you may receive larger specimens when small fish are unavailable, however the smallest should be expected unless the size is noted as "Large" or "Adult".
