nice growouts there. I have two male RTM about 7" but i'm not sure what strand. Can't wait to see how these guys look once they get bigger.


Thank you Dave:) when did you get your RTM's? Im assuming since the Rio Blanco were just being released as of this summer and they were all small that you have Copan, but its still possible you could have a blanco. post some pics.

Mbeatrice- thats a very nice male bro:) I cant help but fall in love with the RTM's more and more each day:) Both stains are very beautiful. IMO they are just as hot as Festae! I am just really happy that the Rio Blanco have been made available.

thanks...i also have a female rio copen rtm x gold motaguense female at 4 or 5 inches,and 2 rtm x red isletas male and female....an odd mix but they are one of a kind....
 
Are all those bred from your male RTM? lol sounds like he's been busy;) i bet those guys look good. im not much into hybrids but i might have a female rtm hittin on my male festae:) hmm..... I wonder how that would look?
 
no none are from my male rtm....and im not that big on hybrids but wanted something diff that not many other people are not going to have and the gold x rtm is beutiful .....and i also would like to see festae x rtm as well ,would be interesting....
 
Very nice pick up for sure. I am looking for a male to go with my female. I love all the Parachromis sp so it's really hard to say which one is my favorite.

Very nice female!!:) great color. It was hard for me to choose my favorite Para, but right now the Motas are tied with Dovii;) as far as personality goes, my lil rtms have displayed more attention and friendliness than the dovii i have raised over the years at small sizes. as dovii grow they tend to be more active with me. time will tell with the rtms for me. and as for color, my dovii has these lil guys beat atm... but ive noticed a couple starting to show color so we'll see lol
 
Not the greatest pics but this was my male about 9" and female about 7"

Very nice pair:) at what size are they distinguishable from male-female? and when the females start to color up? I think its around 3.5" but im not sure.

Yes that's about right, I'd say by 3.5" you can see the differance. They are beautiful fish you hear a lot about the color of the females but IMO the males are every bit as good looking in their own way.
