I've had a few Parachromis and I haven't been dissappointed yet in how interactive they are. I'm thinking of getting a red tiger motaguense to keep solo in a 75 gallon. Are these fish fairly outgoing and owner responsive. The freddy and dovii I've owned have been quite interactive.
 
Mine (which may actually be a normal morph motaguense-still on the fence) really is not too responsive. He's semi-blind in one eye, so that may make a difference-but not as responsive as other cichlids that I own.
 
Love em!very aggressive but not as owner responsive as Midas or oscar
 
Mine was very shy and recluse when I picked him up a few months back. Since then she has grown to about 4-5" and is somewhat more responsive and interactive, but she really is a bully and punks other fish more than anything.. Really cool and one of my favorites. But she is no where near as responsive as some of my others. (O,RD, BD, & others)
 
It doesn't have to be terribly personable. Just out front and looking interested. Must appreciate being fed too.
 
mine hides behind the driftwood unless he knows i'm in the room, then he's front and center. i know this because i peep on my fish haha man i need help. only thing he loves more than eating, unfortunately is killing. solo fish and you've got yourself a wet pet.

That's what I'm after! BTW, I watch mine like that too. Sometimes it is the only way to see the damn grammodes. LOL
