So I was doing a little searching around and seen this fish. I really like the color on it. And from what I've read has that certain kind of attitude that I love. Anyway just curious if anyone here owns any?

Sorry I can't copy and paste pics from my phone. It only does the links.

All pics came from google. None are mine.

So does anyone on this great board own any?

There pattern and color I find insanely striking. Does anyone know where to find some juvies? I may try to grow a couple out. 2-3 inch range.

I have 7 of them. They are RTM's, (red tiger mota's) and they are not common. I purchased mine at APFP months ago. I don't think they have any more. I might sell you a couple.

They are pretty dope fish, very mean and have some nice teeth. I got a decent male who is the biggest a-hole of a fish. Has killed about 5 fish so far including an arowana that was 4 or 5x bigger.

Yea this is the one. All the parachromis are dope. I was going to attempt to have a few of the species but I've always had the dominate male kill the others.

The ones I have are from 1" to 3". I just found one dead this morning. I usually buy Amphilophus but lately have gotten into the Parachromis. I have 7 RTM's, 4 yellow Dovi,(all around 1.5") 1 Loiselli,(about 9") and 2 Jags(one is about 3.5" the other 2"). The only one I don't have is the Friedrichsthalii.

Let me know if you want to sell any RTM's looking for two male and female. Also possible if you wanted to flip a yellow dovii let me know. Oh and where did you get them? Are they wc?

I believe the Dovi are wild caught, would have to find out from the person I got them from. As for the the RTM's, they are still to small to sex.
