As I said in some earlier posts... I'm back in the Guapote game! I'm starting this thread to show off my Red Tiger Motaguense and my Jaguar Cichlid progression. Of course I have some favorite dithers I'll include from time to time. The RTM are about 1.5" - 2" and the Jags are 2" - 3". I'm growing them out right now to hopefully pair a few up and/or possibly put together a larger CA community tank. I will be separating them into their own tanks as needed. Enjoy!

The nicest female out of the bunch. She's only about 1.5" and she's showing colors already. I think she's going to be a stunner.

Thanks. Throw a few pics up for comparison. I have been raising Parachromis spp. for years but never have raised Motas and I will definitely say they have been the most aggressive I have kept. I thought my Rio Danto Freddies were aggressive at the time, but they pale in comparison.

Here you go.... First pic last week in August when I purchased.....
Second picture earlier this week
I got lucky it seems....my motas were sick for a couple of weeks after I bought them... became emaciated ...I lost some momentum on their growth but they bounced back .. You are in for a treat as you see them color up.... Like with most nice looking fish photos don't do them justice.......
