Zaire Blue Moba Frontosa (Cyphotilapia gibberosa)

The Blue Moba Frontosa (Cyphotilapia frontosa 'Moba') is a stunning, large African cichlid from Lake Tanganyika, known for its deep blue body with bold black vertical bars and intense blue fins, developing a prominent nuchal hump with age, making it a prized but challenging centerpiece fish for experienced aquarists needing large tanks with high pH, rockwork, and a diet of pellets, krill, or mysis shrimp, though they can be territorial.
