This requires a lot of effort and manpower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should come as no surprise that the blue frontosa is significantly more expensive than regular wild caught frontosa when you consider that the fish is collected in a region that is notorious for its political instability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also a frontosa strain known as \"Zaire purple,\" which some people mistake for \"Zaire blues,\" but their colors are clearly different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its high price, the fish known as Cyphotilapia frontosa \"Zaire blue\" has gained popularity due to its beauty.

Some of the priciest geographical varieties are known as \"Blue Zaire.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should be kept in a group of at least five, ideally ten or more specimens because it is sociable. Although it is impossible to accurately sex juveniles, adult males grow larger, have more extended fins, and develop a larger nuchal hump than females.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to many other cichlids, males do not hold distinct territories. Instead, they establish a distinct dominance hierarchy within which one or more alpha individuals develop based on the size of the group and the amount of space available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor almost a century, the genus Cyphotilapia frontosa was thought to be monotypic before the 2003 description of Cyphotilapia gibberosa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIII.
