Afternoon.

I'm thinking about filling my display with a group of fronts/gibbers and would like to see which ones you guys think are the best looking. And also their availability and price in WA. I'm happy to ship some if they are a bit more rare over here (but nothing ridiculously expensive, I don't have thousands of dollars laying around haha)

Zaire Moba look nice. What do you guys think?

Cheers guys :)

I still love the cheap, common Burundis with they're big humpy heads. Very common and cheap but I just love the look of them.

Those ones look amazing. The light blue is definitely stunning. The colors are so crisp on wild fish, I'm hoping to get hold of some F1 juvies so that they aren't too far from wild.

Zaire MOBA with the "zorro mask" over the face and nice blue colouration are my favourite.

Just found this post while researching on the different types available in aus and they look awesome. Google also returns some really nice pics of "Chumbu"
