New member and to frontosas, need some info please

[RBwonga]

Hey guys my names Chris, I love in lakes entrance which is about 4 hours away from Melbourne. I have a passion for fish and once my mate told me about frontosas I just had to have them, so I got the pet store that's closest to me (30mins away) to order me in some 6 bars, I told him I intend on buying 3 and if he could get a few more so I could take my pick of them so he obliged and is getting 6 in. Now I have a few questions.

What do I look for in frontosas when purchasing? I think they're fry only though, cause they're only 3.5 centimeters.

I also intend on buying another 3 from a different source, Cause I don't want interbreeding, I know that they won't breed for at least 2 years but I don't mind waiting, it gives me time to find a great 6ft tank for them. I would like to purchase the other lot of frontosas online, but I searched and couldn't find much info, most people wouldn't send or just hard to track frontosas. So my question is, does anyone have some good sources for some fish?

Sorry about the crazy long post, I'm just very interested and try to learn as much as possible.

Thanks

Chris.
