Two shots of the F0 Red
Tiger Moto's from Rio Blanco. I set my lights and wrangle the fish into the right spot by
putting a few large pellets in the tank. Yhis first shot I caught the female at the top with the
male in hot pursuit...both for the pellet and the female. If you look at the bottom of the male
near the top of his anal fin you will see why. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif They breed like clockwork.

These two fish are by themselves in a 180 gallon tank. The male is around 9-
10". I never tried to meausre. This is as close as I can get to a "full tank" shot
of that particular tank...the far left third of the tank. All of the plants are either silk or
plastic. I have several pieces of driftwood in the tank along with two large clay pots with the
bottom knocked out. There's also a glazed fire brick (far right) in the tank that the female
uses for a temporary escape from the male.
The tank itself is heavily filterated. I
have an Eheim 2260 and three Hot Magmum canister filters along with two large sponge filters (one
with coarse...one with fine sponge) It's heated with two 300W titanium heaters.
