Will it get more red as it matures? What should I expect it to look like? How aggressive are they compared to dovii and Jaguar cichlids?Parachromis motaguensis
And are you see it’s a motaguensis?Google and yeah they are in the same league of aggression as jags and dovii.
And are you see it’s a motaguensis?
Does it look male or female? And thank you. Any information is helpful on this cichlid.red cheek is a dead giveaway that it's not any of the other parachromis
Yes that was his first day in the tank. Already looks better today. He was with a bunch of other fry he was the biggest one of the batch the rest were half his size. Does that mean he is an alpha or just grew the fastest. Colors should really come out once he grows a bit more he’s very young.Motaguense would also be my guess, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it's not a pure fish, and actually a mota hybrid. Should be easier to tell as it grows. Color looks a bit off imo for a pure mota, but it could just be washed out/ showing stress bars.
