Today in the Fishroom ~ Vieja breidohri

[Aquamojo]

One of my favorite fish from days gone by...Vieja breidohri.

Male mugging for the camera.



The female was easily a third of the male's size.

A species i want to keep one day. Just don't have the room. My biggest tank is devoted to heterospila right now. Beautiful fish though.

Nice fish. I have some juvenile that I'm growing hopefully they color up like yours. Kind of bland when young

You won't be disappointed when they do. One of the most beautifully colored CA cichlids in my opinion.
