How agressive are Vieja Synspilum?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What usually happens is he will wipe out all other fish in the tank. If not when the eggs are laid then definetly when the fry start exploring. Sure its a true Synspilum? 100% pure Synspilums are not easy to find and he should have eaten your plants. They like lettuce. Post a pic if you can.
 
Mine is a candy butt however he has plenty of tankmates that keep him on his toes. If raised in a small tank (less than 125 gallons) I would think they could get pretty terretorial, I had one back the day that was pretty mean but again it was in a smaller tank. I would call them semi-aggressive. All vieja and some what aggressive with some being down right evil.

Just like the title said I am wondering what do they eat besides pellets
I think I once saw a video of a group of synspilum crunching on Malaysian burrowing/trumpet snails.
 
i think so i will post a pic tomorrow but it does look like a pure Vieja syn. but all my plants are still there and all my fish are still there even my otos kinda of amazing
 
i have 3 of them one at 11 inches and a pair at 6-7 inches all of them are mild,they will defend themselves but the usually don,t start any problems.
 
They do get massive and are capable of killing others. I believe it is the largest of the Viejas.
