Here's a kind of blurry shot of their parents.

Amazing looking pair

How old and big are they in the picture? Can't wait till my 7" male start looking like that

I would suggest separating the high red male and get him a equally nice female and start a high red male Mota line.

Hey,
Thanks for the nice comments!

Young_rico -- Sorry man,I've thought about shipping but only for about two minutes.lmao!

Synrgst---Congrats on getting your pair. Some of my favorite fish. Males usually tend to get larger with the females having more intense red and large black spots on their gill plates.

Burtle--Funny you mention line breeding.I was just talking to a fellow MFK'r yesterday about doing just that so I've removed the red male and female in another tank. We'll see what happens.

Mad About Cichlids ---I was told the adults are wc so not sure of their age. Male is about 10" and female probably 7". I'm going to try line breeding the red male with the reddest female. I think it would cool to get a strain of some really red males.

Dhull_41--Wished you lived closer. We have two sons that live in Muscatine.

Mike
