Pics of my Motaguense "La Bruja"

[WildCAught]

I kept her by herself for a few days then decided she was okay to go in with general population. For The first hour after I threw her in I watched as fish after fish gave her hell and left her hiding behind a rock. I turned off all the lights to give her some time to recover and calm the rest of the fish down. the next morning I was thinking I was gonna have to remove her and put her back by herself. No way! she was running the tank and ALL the fish were keeping away from her. Beautiful fish. I'm trying to figure out how to take some true to color shots while she's IN the tank. THese are pretty close.
enjoy.

She appears to have more of an elongated body compared to other rtm. Very nice!

Geez, i'm hoping soon but only if the little one is a male. I'm keeping this variant pure. I'm dreading the next month of growth... I'll know what the other one is at 3 inches.

wow, thats an amazing fish. Great job.

Thank you. The trip was well worth it.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Great looking Mota and nice set of pictures.

Thanks for the props homie! Her aggression reminds me of the female I got from you... But not quite on that level. She was just nuts!

She looks freaking amazing! Wow, if only you had saved a male.

I have what I'm hoping to be a male. I am keeping my fingers crossed. It's only about two inches.

Gorgeous fish, I would love to have this variant of Motaguense.

Thanks! There are only two in the U.S right now... with me...
If tragedy hadn't struck there would have been 6 total. A true shame.

I observed that and neglected to mention that in the post. Very streamlined and predatory.
