    Default any local Mpimbwe frontosa breeders??

    ive decided these are the fronts i want, thinking of doing what Eric Glab of the cichlid-forums recommends and getting 10-12 of them and then selling off the biggest ones (males) over the next couple years until i have all females, then buying a really nice show quality adult male as the stud of the colony

    anybody know where i can find some of these Mpimbwe's? i know bluechip aquatics sells em but thought i'd see if there are any local breeders first

    cheers
