A few of my breeding pairs I've kept.

Some of the breeding pairs I've kept since I had a digital camera. It's raining so I'm going thrugh old pics. Figured I'd make a thread.

Red Tiger Motas: Male right, female left.


Trimac: Pair with fry.


Krobia Xinguenses:




Geophagus Red Head Tapajos:




I also have a breeding pair of Festavum that I'm almost positive are Mesonauta mirificus. I'll down lod some pics with fry when I get home. I'm aslo working on breeding a pair of P. Altum but so far have not had any sucess but I think they are still a little young.

The Motas and Trimacs are long gone. The Motas were very cool breed about every three weeks if I would pull the fry. I had them in a 75. The male was about 9" and the female about 7" they were great parents. I had a hollow log type thing for the female so she could escape from the male I had then together for about two years. One day he killed her after that I gave him away. The trimacs went to a friend of mine the male was excelent with the fry they breed about 6 times I had them in a 90 but it was a little small for them a 125 would have been better. THe Krobia went to George at Shark Aquarium, I don't know he might have kept them for his home tank.

Here's the Mesonauta mirificus (?) still not 100% any input would be helpful. These fish paired and bred at a very young age.

Beautiful motas, do you still have them?

Wow, that pair of Trimacs' is stunning and so is that female Mota! It's too bad you let them go. Those Tapajo's are pretty sexy too! I was thinking of buying a group of Winemilleri or Abalios myself and try my hand at breeding them. Thanks man for the great share.
