No way you have wild red fronts. They are an aquarium line bred strain.

I'm not trying to argue with you, I was just passing along what I came across when red fronts when I came across the name in the past.

Don, you may have bought them as such, but either the seller is a con artist, or they were terribly misinformed, as no such variant exists in the wild. They are as James stated, an aquarium line bred strain.

This thread is 11 years old, this strain has been kicking around the hobby for a long time, but to be honest they simply never became popular as most hobbyists prefer their natural blue coloration.
