Just got back from my fav LFS. I went there to get bulbs and media and of course I had to go to the livestock section. Well anyways I picked up a 6" red tiger motaguense. He's really cool. He's in my 40 as of now until my 125 is setup which will be in a week or so. Do you think he would start beating on my con, fm and sal? The Sal is going in the 125 with him along with a Jag. I had to get him and they wouldn't let me place a reserve on assorted fish. He was in a Assorted CA tank so.... I think they'll be ok for a week and a half ,you think?
 
Actually I am worried about the sal because even though he's the boss he's not a fighter. The FM is deinately a fighter but the con just stays out of others buisness. Also my Sal gets stressed easily and I love him to death so if theres any problems the Mota is going back. They had Freddys there Jags, Loisellei, Dovii, Motas and they even had a 13" umbii.



Just walked into my room to find my sal investigating the bag and puffin up a little. This fish like dwarfs the sal in body mass but is almost the same length. My con and FM don't even know he's there they are just puffing up at each other as usual.
 
Once the Mota is settled in the others will have big trouble.Mine gives everyone a hrad time in my 135 and he,s just hitting 5"

Well he isn't staying in there long it's just his holding tank for now but if the sal and Mota get into a lip lock the sal is basically done. Hopefully everything turns out well I am releasing him in five more minutes because I am adjusting him to my pH and such. I know my tank is overstocked right now but it is only going to be for a week and half and I am doing 25% everyother day WCs on the tank so it's all good just hope aggression isn't dramatic. I am pissed though because the guy who scooped him out made him run into a couple lava rocks and I told him can you please remove The lava rock please before you do this and he's like they'll be fine so he continued and soon enough now he's got a couple scales missing and a little scratch. I hope he heals nicely.
 
A 40g? Might want to have a divider handy :P
