So i'm picking up a 7x2x2 tomorrow, and was wondering if i could keep my viejas together in there without too much conspecific aggression?

All 3 are unverified species, but they are bought as Vieja Maculicauda, and 2x Vieja bifasciatus.

Have never kept this species before, and the ones i currently have are only just 2", so i don't know what to expect really, from these fish.

Other fish will go into the tank aswell, so it's not going to be only these 3, but i have experience in keeping the other fish i have, and know what i can expect from them.

I don't know the answer to you're question, but you always got somthing going on over there. Post some pics of that new tank once you get it set up and going. BTW love Vieja beautiful fish.

Hehe yes, i always buy new fish and tanks, and switch things around etc. I'm completely addicted to this wonderful hobby, and spend a large portion of my salery on it each month, haha.

I won't have it up and running before next month when i move in with the girl in a new apartment, but i'll be sure to post pics of the tank tomorrow when i pick it up and start cleaning it and removing the blue background paint, to replace with some black paint instead etc.

2 bifa and a black belt should not be a problem at that size in a 7' tank. I have 8 bifa and a black belt in my 8' tank all are 5-6" long.
