New large female RTMs

[NW Cichlid Keith]

Big thanks to Cedric at SouthernAquaticsLFS for the RTMs. I've never had Motas and my son has REALLY been wanting one. Well, Cedric had two at home, w/ the request that I take both of his. Right now, they are not what I have heard in terms of aggression - real gentle and swim around like they are a gentle pair when they do come out. One is 8.25 TL and the other 7.5" - both are very chunky. I'll have to send more pics once they really settle in.

I agree and they do look like nice chunky healthy looking fish, I also love the red fins on the convict as well

Thanks guys. The convict w/ the red fins is actually a hybrid. It is a Honduran Red Point male, crossed w/ a female Rio Cabuya Siquia (love these mini Midas looking fish). Both parents came from Rapps. It is not that old and is already an easy 6 inches TL and growing fast. This is the only baby that didn't become food - sort of wishing I kept a few now.

beautiful collection you have there. And I'm normally not a fan of the pottery in tanks but it looks great in yours

Sweet tank.

Thanks - I'm learning to hate that pottery though when I try to catch a small fish in the tank - not very successful
