so recently biggfeast and I have been schoolin up on the different parachromis. we keep a few and have been intrigued by them for quite some time. one thing though is with the different varieties, they seem to get mixed up as there are not only different kinds, but many different variations of them depending on collection locale and other factors. i have a loisellei which was sold to me as a freddy and feast has a mota which was sold as a hybrid which later we determined to be a rtm variation by contacting aquamojo. feast also started a thread with the different variations of mota and it seemed that many people did not know there were so many different kinds. sooo, i think it would be cool to get people to post pics of theirs, as well as any information u have on it. it would be even better if people who are really familiar could give their thoughts and comments on them as well as school some of us up

here's feast's thread of the motas by the way
