dazzman Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm having trouble with my Cyphotilapia frontosa Kigoma.I think it's a male, just going off dorsal fin shape and the developing horrid forehead (Nuchal hump), please confirm or correct me if I am wrong. Anyway lately he has been bashing my male Otopharynx lithobates, to the point where the litho has been badly fin nipped and now hides among the rocks (not at all Haplochromine behaviour). I don't have any spare tanks big enough to house either of them so I am thinking I will have to sell the Kigoma, the only problem is I am not 100% sure on the sex and have no idea how much to seel him/her for? it's about 13-14cms and a couple of years old.I have attached a video, in the hopes that experienced Frontosa wranglers could help out.

wildcaught Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That is odd for frontosas to attack other fish. They are very placid fish.Do you have a side photo of the fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzman Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 yes that's what I thought.by the way its a video, plenty of side on viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzman Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Really? No one can help me sex this fish or give me an idea of how much i should sell it for? Its currently for sale here and on some face book fish sites where someone suggested its not a Kigoma at all. Can anyone confirm if it is indeed a Kigoma? Which is what i bought it as at 3cms from a breeder up here a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I can't see any reason for people to say it isn't a kigoma. I would also say it may be a female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Daren,It looks like a good quality kigoma to me, the stripes are dark due to the dark background.I could try to vent it, if you want to drop by my house.CheersHarry at Kahibah0447185304 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzman Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks guys, theres a guy up the valley who said he will buy it from me next week, though he thinks its dark due to stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
