I just posted this because these fish look EXACTLY like my vieja
Got him for 20$ from a lfs that gets their stock from segrest

Where to find females?

Don't know if you seen one in their mature color, but they will end up having red spot patterns similar to a cheetah. ;)

yeah nice. I have a pretty high quality one then i guess? (il post a pic if I can find a digi camera)
It was pure luck that I got my first one, any suggestions on where to find female hartwegi? Do people like rapps sell them

Or should I just suck it up and drop a ton of money on some nice females from thailand?

Post your Vieja...it may or may not be a Hartwegi. I want to see it before I can even make any call whether it is worth buying one from Thailand for your male. :D
 
lol yea nice. He's my buddy so I want to fix him up with a pretty girl regardless, but he dosen't seem to be a fan of female bp or flowerhorn.

It would be cool to get a positive Id though, all I know is that he's vieja, thot he was a fene, but this conversation is giving me doubts about what species he is.
Ill try to borrow a camera tomorrow and take a picture.

NICE! Yeah I've seen those, at what point are they mature?
George is nearly a foot long already

Honestly bro, I know this much information about Vieja but I have no clue when do they fully mature. A lot of Vieja keepers have told me that they are fully mature at 3 years, which is why some Kamfa doesn't mature until 3 years of age. Vieja line is very strong in Kamfa...;)
 
yeah. he's pretty much full size I think, but it seems like they just get bigger and thicker as they mature. He dosen't even have a nuchal hump yet, which I have seen them get when they get big and old.

I'd assume hes at least 1 maybe 2 years old.

I'll get some pics up soon, check back
 
Those line bred hartwegi are a notch above most, but I don't think they are worth that much more than a pure one you can find in the states. I think I have seen rapps with them at some time. Just ask him and the handful of other vendors if they can get them in if they don't have them. That is, if what you have is a hartwegi. PICS!
 
i have many imports from energy11 and ive found him to be one of the most honest sellers on aquabid . his fish are of very high quality, very healthy, and well worth the money givin the time he has put into the breeds he provides to fellow hobbyist.
