Blowin' UP!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I went to visit my dad for the night about a month ago and came back and my saggitae had a big nuchal hump that he never has before. Ever since him and the female have been in breeding coloration. I love when a fish completly changes for the better over night.
 
He goes through changes based on mood. His head has been bigger before. it was about the same size a few days ago. When the RTM bred, they did so next to his territory. As a result of their aggression his head went down. Yesterday he set up shop on the other side of the tank. I think the loss and gain was triggered by territory.

His head blew up in about a day. It can get bigger. I figure he'll look a little top heavy by the time he hit's 8" i measured him yesterday (through the glass) and he's already at 6".

BTW thanks for all the comments. The cat that was commented on is a type of Syno. common name is Domino cat.

Pardon my ignorance.. What is an RTM?

Ignorance would be not asking.
An RTM is a Red Tiger Motaguense (parachromis Motaguensis).
the first picture on this thread shows my male RTM facing off with my Male Midas.
