Unlike the classic blue or black-and-white frontosa, this variant exhibits warm reddish tones across the body and fins, often blended with soft pastel hues and faint barring. It retains the classic hump-headed profile and graceful movement that make frontosas a favorite among large cichlid enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"543\" data-end=\"951\"\u003eKnown for their regal presence and calm demeanor, Red Frontosas do best in groups and require ample swimming space with rock formations and caves for shelter. They are slow-growing but can live for many years, becoming more majestic with age. While generally peaceful, they may prey on smaller tankmates and should be housed with similarly sized fish in a spacious Tanganyikan or large African cichlid setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1478\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"967\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"978\" data-end=\"981\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"996\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e – Peaceful to mildly territorial; predatory toward small fish\u003cbr data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1061\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1069\"\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e – Up to 12–14 inches (males), females slightly smaller\u003cbr data-start=\"1124\" data-end=\"1127\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1127\" data-end=\"1140\"\u003eTank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – 90 gallons+ (larger if keeping groups)\u003cbr data-start=\"1181\" data-end=\"1184\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1199\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e – 74°F to 80°F\u003cbr data-start=\"1214\" data-end=\"1217\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1225\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e – Carnivore (high-quality pellets, krill, mysis shrimp, earthworm sticks)\u003cbr data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1302\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1308\"\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 7.8 to 9.0\u003cbr data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1324\"\u003e👑 The Red Frontosa is an elegant, slow-moving giant that brings rare coloration and a noble presence to any Tanganyikan or large African cichlid display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1480\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1480\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003eThis listing is for 1 Red Frontosa (\u003cem data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1540\"\u003eCyphotilapia frontosa\u003c\/em\u003e var.)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46835642400990,"sku":"","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Photo.png?v=1741200651","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/red-frontosa-cyphotilapia-frontosa-var","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
