The Stunners ~ RTM pair/New Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Great looking setup and pair.

Thanks!

Love the tank, fish and background. That is a pair I want eventually.

Thanks! It took me a year to get this pair together but it was worth it.

Im not sure Justin, I dont know when ill do parachromis again, ive got my hands full now plus i have others on my wish list before parachromis comes back up;) lol They are nice though but i doubt ill do Dovii again untill i have monster tank for them....

Well if you do dive back into Parachromis, go mota. They are the best Parachromis IME. I won't be keeping dovii again in the future either.

Your RTM really are stunners! Tank layout looks very natural.

Thanks J!

Just amazing buddy, these look like Blancos. I have some growing out at the moment and I hope they become some stunners like yours. Wow

Thanks! They are rio blanco (F1 non-sibling). The river is apparently the same thing so there is no difference between the copan and blanco race. I personaly don't believe that so I just stopped using the blanco label. Don't feel like arguing with people over fish that are awesome either way.

Justin, you really did a superb job with this tank. It looks great! A great tank deserves a great pair of fish and I believe you made that happen. You about have me sold on a pair of RTM too.

Thanks Al! I'm going to keep posting em until I wear you down into getting a pair. They are an awesome species.

Very Nice Motas

Thank you!

beautiful fishes in a beautiful tank :thumbsup: oya what kind of background that you are use, is a real trunk or artificial trunk?

It is the "Selvas" from www.designsbynature.net. It is designed for 5'x2' tanks but I cut it down and hid the plumbing behind it in the center.

The tank and motas are amazing!

Thanks Tydus! Will you be keeping another pair any time soon?

Justin and I drove down there last time we bought backgrounds. Warehouse is awesome, hundreds and hundreds of backgrounds stacked floor to ceiling.

^ x2! Only make sure you are driving to Eugene not Salem. I confused myself and it turned into 3am round trip by the time we were done.. :ROFL:

Was thinking of ordering from them before but didn't because didn't want to bother with the shipping. Didn't realize they were almost literally in my backyard......

Next time we head down you want to roll with us? It won't be any time soon but I am going to have to upgrade my ray tank in the future so I'll need to build another big tank. LMK. FYI shipping isn't too badm, they use Greyhound so it's a lot cheaper than the UPS/FedEx route.

Amazing tank and pair, post some updated pics of them with fry when they're swimming!

Thanks JSM! Do you guys have access to this species in Australia? Will do on the video, I finally figured out how to record HD video on my Nikon.
 
Looking great. That color sand picks up their colors really well. Glad you kept a hold of these guys in your return to SA.

This pair is with me for the long haul. This is the male I picked up when we were at the NW meet last year BTW. You were there too at that store that had Weidners book, you remember?

Of course I remember, I'm not really THAT old ... yet. Though I can't remember who jumped higher, you seeing the RTM's or me seeing that book in ACWO's hands. :ROFL:
