ack, never had any luck finding rtms available.. just lost my 9" male rtm along with a breeding pair of dempsies cause my heater sensor was not put back in and I cooked them. one fish made it. Im in tears now and have that sensor zip tied in. But best thing is to start over and does any one have any rtms out there? Im in bay area...thanks

Why did you let this happen? Sounds like you want the RTM to kill everything. RTMs should be kept alone unless you have 300+ gallons and that won’t even guarantee no aggression.
Also is that beefhart? I would avoid feeding any cichlid that.

A 4 foot tank is not going to be enough room for any parachromis to have tankmates.

Sounds like letting the mota kill them off may be a more humane death then stuffing them all into a 20 gal..

Supposedly the label "Rio Blanco" & "Rio Copan" are irrelevant. They are the same fishes. LOL, even though I strung them along, these guys have some credibility and respect.








So here are some pics I dug up of my Red Tigers
