Mota and my 55gal

[Zorro]

ok my mota has killed off all my little fish. Now what shold i stock my 55gal with. My mota is a bully

The mota is going to get big enough to fill out that tank by himself, he is not a community fish so more tankmates is not a good idea, I think you need to do something with your other fish before he gets them.

get a mate and breed or get rid of it and start over with fish that fit a 55.

 

[Motag 7]

just let him chill in there he will be a big problem with other fish

 

[GTS]

Yup. Just let him have the tank.

Its doubtful anything else could hang with him in such a small tank.

If you get a satifactory answer will you promise to stop posting this question on other forums in different ways?


There are many canidates that will mix with a motaguense like black belts, butterkoferi, green terrors, red devil, red terrors, urothalmus (also sold as red terror) and I'm sure many others. I would suggest against similar fish like dovii, managuense, fredricstchali(spelling?) etc. That just asking for it.

Now the really impotant part. Your one single Motaguense by it self has the ability to out grow a 55 or at least be big enough to be the only one in it. YOu can house it and others initially when they are smaller but it and it's tank mates will need a bigger aquarium in the not to distant future.

To answer the question you posted concerning this elcewhere, NO, do not put you motaguense in a 10 gallon.
