Differences in motaguense and motaguense ‘red tiger’?

[franchise513]

Is there any differences in these two? Except for the different colors? And could i set up a single fish tank in a 90g tank with this guy?

i always thought Red Tiger was just the common name, i dont think there is 2 color variants of this fish.

you could have either a single or a pair in a 90g.

There is two color varients! but i think all else is the same. Mine are about 3" and they are red tigers but at this point i can't tell you if they have different dispositions. I think motas are underestimated.

 

[Modest_Man]

They are two different regional variants of the same species of fish, one (red tiger) has more red.

I've kept the "normal" variant, but not the red tiger, so I can't tell you about disposition differences.

alright ya thats what i was wondering if there is any other differences than just the color and could i really keep a breeding pair in a 90g tank? i didnt know that, be i would a divider if anythingwere to go wrong.

 

[big dovii]

Divider is needed with any Parachromis species, these fish have quite the attitude.

 

[franchise513]

yea i knew that, but i wasnt sure a breeding pair could go in there

Pair is fine in a 5 foot 90 gal.

Pair is fine in a 5 foot 90 gal.

I think they'd get to long for a 90 gallon.
I'd actually upgrade to a 6 foot 120.
6x2x2.
they'd be alright in that tank.
are you forsure doing a pair?
