Recommended Temperature (Β°F): 75-82Β°F (24-28Β°C)
Diet: The Black Widow Frontosa is an omnivorous fish that feeds on a variety of foods. Its diet consists of small fish, crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. In the aquarium, it can be fed high-quality pellets, flakes, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and spirulina-based foods.
Temperament: The Black Widow Frontosa exhibits a semi-aggressive temperament. While it can coexist with other large cichlids, it may display territorial behavior and aggression towards smaller or more timid tank mates. It is recommended to provide ample space and hiding spots to minimize conflicts.
Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Non-Schooling Fish (Black Widow Frontosa is a solitary fish but can be kept in pairs or small groups, provided there is enough space and territory for each individual.)
Possible types of tank mates: Compatible tank mates for the Black Widow Frontosa include other large cichlids from Lake Tanganyika, such as other Frontosa species or robust species like Tropheus or Julidochromis. Avoid housing them with small or delicate fish that may be perceived as prey or trigger aggression.
Behavior: The Black Widow Frontosa features a distinctive appearance with a dark, almost black body coloration that is accentuated by bright, vibrant white or red markings reminiscent of the infamous black widow spider. These markings may appear on its dorsal and anal fins, creating a striking contrast against its dark body. This coloration is believed to serve as a form of warning to potential predators or competitors. Despite its imposing appearance, the Black Widow Frontosa is a graceful and deliberate swimmer, patrolling its territory with confidence.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iβve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
