tankmates for red tiger mota

[Connor0729]

hi, i'm looking into red tigers, but am wanting to keep some other good looking fish with it. i'm thinking along the lines of cichlids, preferrably amphilophus or something.



P.S. my favorite colour is red (hint,hint)

What size tank? I wouldnt do tankmates in anything under 75g

many fish in the amphilophus speices get get also large and aggresive, so that might not be so good, though something like a Gt or the like may work, but i would also say that you'll probly want accually even more than 75 gallons, becuase they can get territorial, what size tank are you going to keep the fish in?

i was thinking about keeping it/them in a 75 or a 90 gallon tank

i think a pair of large mota would fill that out perfectly, if you can find to that would be willing to be together

in anything under a 6 foot tank I'd keep them alone or in pairs with a divider. all Parachromis species are very territorial and a 75 or 90 doesn't have room for two distinct territories for such large fish.
