Ya for some reason my phone wasn't letting me go to the source... very cool looking fish. So far I couldn't find much info other than they are arguably the most aggressive vieja.. how big do they get?

Most of your vieja's will top out at 12-14in. Males being much chunkier than females. Zonatus is one of the more aggressive vieja. There are a couple that look similar though - guttulatus & coatzacoalcos. Zonatus does look better IMO though.
