Parachromis 'Red Tiger' Motaguense

[nuno landeck]

Here I leave you some pictures of two Parachromis 'Red Tiger' I keep Motaguense f2.
The male is about 11.5 cm and 10 cm female, so still has a lot to grow.
The photos are not quality because the photographer has the talent ...

Did you rescue them from a bad owner or did you grow them up since little. If you grew them since little I dont recommend you breeding them. Their mouths, and fins don't look normal. Either too much inbreeding or they were malnourished/abused for a very long time. . Maybe breed to another Mota of different parents..

Good luck.

I would have to agree they look a bit deformed in the fins and head/lips to me?? How long have you had them?? Here is a pic of one I used to keep for comparaison.

I agree. Something happened along the way.

I pic the parents from Jeff Rapps as f1, and they are f2.
They spend their days courting each other, clinging to the mouth several times, which causes the lengthening of the mouth. But she returns to normal.

Something is not right about those RTM's. the fins and the mouth are not normal. This male is mine;
