About This Species
The Frontosa is a large, majestic cichlid from Lake Tanganyika known for the prominent nuchal hump that develops on the foreheads of mature males. They are slow-moving, deep-water predators with a calm but commanding presence. A large, dimly lit tank with plenty of rock caves is needed for these impressive fish.
