Mpimbwe vs. 7 Stripe

[Muuurgh]

Okay, I've had my heart set on getting 6 Mpimbwe this week, but the store I
ordered them from got 7 Stripe instead. What is the difference? What is the
difference in any Front for that matter?

I want the largest, most striking Frontosa out there. Are they all similar?
Would I even know the difference? Or should I wait another 3 weeks or so to
get the Mpimbwe or other front that you find most colorful or striking?

Thanks,
-Muuurgh

I thought the 7 stripe (Kigoma) were better (less common) than the 6
stripe (probably Mpimbwe, but I could have it backwards). Why not just
hold out for some Zaire 'Blues'? Did you check out that site I gave you?

Thanks. One of the things that drew me to Mpimbwe it's temperment and
coloring. It may not be as hard to find as the Zaire, but I really think
the Mpimbwe is the one for me. Now, if I managed to find some Zaire
first... I'd probably pick them up. Of course I want to breed them someday,
so this could lead to trouble as well. Any how thanks again. This map is
really helpful.
