New Pickup: Mota

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks guys. I was hoping for input on whether this is an RTM or regular Mota, as he was labeled as a RTM. Today, after settling in, he has gotten even more gold, so I believe that pwmin, who told me it was a regular Mota, was right.

This guy is pretty freakin' aggressive. I bought three large Clown Loaches today, and he went right after them. I have provided them with a cave, but since they are new to the tank, two of them are not finding the cave. I thought this would work because I have had Clown Loaches with aggressive Cichlids such as an Argentea, Jag, and Green Terror, and they never paid any mind to them. The Mota has stopped attacking them, but still goes up and nudges the two that are still kinda in the open. I guess I will find out soon enough if this combo will work.
 
Stunning!

I would agree with pwmin on the regular mota but definitely a great example. I look forward to more pics after he has settled in more.

Yeah, I just wasn't sure because I've been searching pics of Motas on here, and some of the ones that are labeled as RTMs look gold to me.

I will definitely post updates.
