Why people so obsessesd with the location of their frontosa and spend stupid amount of money for some whoop whoop location in Africa that might have been pluck out from the sky to make the sale sound attractive\exortic. Not much of the diff between variant. The obvious i can see is that one has an extra bar than the other. The rest simply just one being bluer than the other.

If you like a bit of blue and a bit of white... then why give a toss what others think, just enjoy ur fish and save ur money for ur kids education.

Ps. Regards to cert, did u know there is a program call photoshop?

You realise when you start to tell people how to spend their money you sound like Mao Tsetung, Josef Stalin, Fidel Castro... etc

People get certain levels of aesthetic pleasure out of buying something rare and wonderful. I say, good on them.

With most frontoa species they have diffrence of body shape,colors,fins and some species come from deeper waters,with the Zaire's they are from the Congo and the collector get shot at

You should check out my many species and you will understand the diffrence in species
Like the high price in catfish some species are worth $650 at 3cm

You can buy a hand bag for $6 or $60,000, but both are still a fabric bag with 2 straps.

The devil is in the details. You may not understand it, but plenty get it.

I always fly business class. I get to the same destination at the same time as the people sitting in economy and pay 3-4 times the amount but get a comfy seat, can sleep well when going to Europe/the US, I get great food and wine.
There are also those that will always insist on flying budget airlines due to the savings

that map gives even less info i like fronts but it does make you think twice about buying all these different locations as to weather they really are a different fish

It does my head in trying to distinguish the difference in fronts whilst looking, cos they look same same but different.
