1) to me i prefer starts to rear from juv stage. for growth rate, burundi is the slowest, mpimbwe is the fastest. my mpimbwe grow from 1.5 inch to 6 inch in a year(alpha male)..
2) if refer to the common burundi at the lfs, price range is around rm15-25 for juv.
3) fake frontosa? me nvr seen before. did u refer to hybrid? i mean cross breed between frontosa variant.
4) u can call the ex-owner of Cichlid Connection lfs in PJ SunwayMas, he is doing wholesales now but still entertaint small volume order.
