Just for curiosity sakes... what makes them different from the other fron's.. are there a difference in size or just the coloring and marking? He's beautiful by the way.

I think there are 14 or 15 different varieties of Frontosa, could be more,
some of the more common one's are Burundi, Kigoma, Mpimbwe and Zaire,
The Zaire's are the most sought after hence the most expensive.
Their colouring and markings are all different and they come from different parts of the lake.
I hope that helps a bit Violet.
