Here is a pic i just took, im sorry i lack the skills lol. This is my Rio Blanco RTM female at 4.5-5" and her kids
Beautiful pair!
Festae are the best looking fresh water fish! This is my opinion of course. However, I do have and like RTM. It is unfair to put a RTM up against the best looking fresh water fish.
I gotta say seeing pix of Jason's RTM pair, especially that female, makes me wanna run out and get a pair!
Not taking anything away from the female festae of course! She's perfection as well.

RTM are very nice! I breed them and I really like the way the females color up in breeding dress. However, Festae will change colors and do tricks right before your eyes whether they are in breeding dress or not. Festae are stunning!

Tricks??? what tricks did your festaes do? i didnt see any tricks in those videos lol. No offense but you can train almost any cichlid to do tricks and festaes are intelligent but the most ive been able to get a festae to do was follow a bottle cap across the table. Festaes will most likely always win the color contest but you will see your occasional female Motas that cant be touched
and im not talking abouit mine, ive seen a female RTM that looks better than alot of female festaes ive seen. But ive also seen alot of dull motas as well. as far as consistancy goes, festae all the way.
I'll agree that on average Festaes will usually get the nod in the color dept. but I have seen some female Motas that were real stunners. IMO it's a close call, I love Motas my personal favorite Parachromis but they breed like wet gremlins..........lol
