hey bro,
i think the frontosa pricing has been revised since ur times
burundi in KL only rm15-rm25 each, size around 1.5 inches(mostly taiwanese stock)
kigoma is around rm35-rm45 each, size also around 1.5 inches(but we can have it only through import from German, so far never seen it before in normal lfs)
the price of rm500 u mentioned should about to get a wild caught zaire about 4-5 inches size.
and i heard alot of wild caught good frontosa(kigoma, burundi, ikola, zaires..) have been brought in to Thailand for mass breeding.
so is the time to come back to frontosa world
