Red Tiger Mota
by Jim
This fresh water cichlid is very aggressive as a juvenile but will grow to have absolutely beautiful colors! Not found in local petshops.

This beautiful colored freshwater cichlid may be classified as aggressive, but it truly is NOT extremely or highly aggressive. Take caution when selecting tankmates. I would recommend housing this cichlid with semi-aggressive cichlids. Definitely a 5 star freshwater cichlid though.

I picked up five of these in June. They are definitely aggressive, but this is mainly conspecific. I can not wait until their colors really start to show :)
Incorrect fish
by Brandon clark
Purchased 5 of these back in February. Received parachromis loisellei instead. 2nd set of fish I received that were not what they were stated. Only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because fish showed up healthy and are growing great.
