All the species in the Parachromis genus get the teeth haha, as for colours, if you give him a good diet, and good water quality he should get more vibrant, BUT, they dont tend to actually be RED. They get more of an orange hue to their body, I dont know how to explain it really. Females get a nice red to em, almost like Festae do, but males arent as vibrantly coloured. I think they are a gorgeous fish however.

Imo you didn't get ripped off, that's a better fish haha. As for becoming more red I think its the gold variant if anything so I wouldn't expect much if at all any red to show. Great pickup though, how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking. If they charged you dovii price for a mota then yeah it's kind of a rip I guess..

he was 35 bucks so rip off?

 

[dirtyblacksocks]

Not a rip off - male red mota's don't get a lot of red coloring in em'. Females are the ones that color up

 

[brandon1393]

Sweet ^^ Are motas as mean as doviis?

 

[Casper2000]

Nah definitely not, he's got some size on him so it's worth it.

Dirty - I dunno if it's just the picture quality but I don't see any red on that one which is why I'm assuming it's the regular gold morph, what do you think?

*edit
No they're not as mean but they're brutes too, some people say next in aggro after dovii.
