Parachromis Motaguense (red Tiger)

[River Dog]

I have just bought these from the EACG auction. there were loads of quality fish up for grabs. These are a 3" pair of F1 Red Tiger Motags from Jeff Rapps. They obviously haven't settled yet, so their colour isn't showing yet.

These are in a 75uk gallon tank filtered by a 29 gallon sump. There is also an internal filter giving plenty of water flow, as these are a riverine species.

Mota's are great, all parachromis are . Once they settle in you should have some lovely fish.

Are they a mated pair?

Thanks guy's and Shroob yes they have had one batch of fry already.

Thats where the EACG auction comes in, we are a friendly bunch of Cichlid nuts, who buy and sell rarely available fish at amazing prices. For example a 5 inch Parachromis Dovii was sold for £4.50. Our next auction is October where we have World famous speakers as well as the auction. We had a raffle that was drawn by Jeremy Gay deputy editor of Practical Fishkeeping magazine. A Jewel 180 tank was first prize, with an external filter as second prize.
