iv seen a few post from aquamojo while searching the net on info of these fish, is there a collection of pics of all the different kinds of mags/motas
trying to learn as much as possible
also my g/f pointed out that the red tiger female looks like my friends festae.....is that cuz they bred with mags in the wild?
i was like i honestly dont know.
 
The Managuense from Honduras is an introduced population, i.e not native, most likely originally from Nicaragua, They have some of the best colors of any I've seen. They are displaceing the native P. loiselli from out competing them or hybridizing them out of existance as the managuese is much more of a prolific breeder and gets larger and is more aggressive.
Red Tiger Motoguenses are from Northernwestern Honduras and southern Guatamala, Festae are from South America, 0nly about a 1,000 miles apart. Ken
 
very nicely said Ken.
anything that is gonna happen with the manguense?
or are the loiselli gonna go extinct?

Parachromis Loiselli SP. "La Cieba" is what made me think of it i was like wow that looks like my fish
 
This is the La ceiba losielli type fish from Honduras (Pic below). Rusty has sold a batch of fry to Rapps and I have two spawns from my pair, biggest La Ceiba available in the trade are 3". That managuese isn't a Honduran, Only a handful of people have adults and I doubt any are in pet shops right now. We don't sell them cheap, Now fry is a different story, Mo has lots of them. Ken
