As the title says, I am searching for 5" or larger male RTM. I got a captive bred female from Rapps and want to try to pair it up with a mate. Since there is a good chance Rapps' fish would be related, I don't want to buy from him. If anyone knows where I could find one for sale, I would greatly appreciate a point in the right direction.

Thanks everyone!

Just fyi... RTM stands for for Red Tiger Motaguensis... not Red Tail Motaguensis. At least not that I've ever heard. Every now and again I run into these in my area. I'll let you know if something pops up.

Okay. Thanks for the correction. It's not really for me, but a friend of mine. RTMs are little meaner than I like to keep. :)

If you have any luck finding one let me know. I ordered two RTMs from rapps as well; however they are both females. May be I can talk my wife into ordering me a male RTM if I can find one for Christmas :)

I also ordered a pair of RTM from Rapps recently. They were about 4"-5". One of them has grown larger than the other one. Not sure I have a pair. The smaller one usually hides behind the filter or the plants. The is my first time raising RTM so don't know how to sex them. How are you sexing yours?

The males will have red dots all over the body. I sold a male RTM like 3 weeks before I realized rapps had RTMs :/ I'll try and find a pic of him and post it
