Kingkong Balloon Parrot

At 5 inches, a Zaire Blue Frontosa (Cyphotilapia gibberosa, specifically regional variants like Moba, Kapampa, or Kitumba) is transitioning from a juvenile into a highly impressive sub-adult. At this specific size, their legendary deep purple and electric blue coloration begins to rapidly intensify. They are slow-growing, highly prized open-water African cichlids known for their deep-water origins in Lake Tanganyika.
