ID this Veija?

[Dispatch273]

Picked her(I think its female) at an LFS I don't normally go to. She was pretty beat up so I had to save her lol. The tank she was in said synspilum. Is this what she is? Thank you.

Sorry for the terrible pictures.

and one of my EBJD just because he is pretty!

Looks like my syn/melanurus.

sinispilum

I heard they are going to eliminate melanurus because they both look the same. So synspilum is my guess

 

[Dispatch273]

Thank you. Do you agree that its a female?

 

[fishman09]

they are eliminating synipilum and melanrus will be the only one

To early to tell the sex. Mine are 7 & 8" and I cant tell on any of my Vieja. Well except for my Zonatus. Good luck.

Where did you hear this?


Def a synspila, and looks like it is a male. It is very hard to sex tho, from my experience the males tend to have more color and have a much taller body.

synspilium, tough to sex,my first look at it says female,my female had as much color as the male at similar size,they can be hard to call.i am growing out a bunch now hopefully i get better at ID

Thanks guys for all your input...this is my first vieja and I really like her. I wasn't planning on picking up a vieja but I certainly don't regret it! When I saw how sad and beat up she was(she was almost black!) I just had to get her. She's happy now and will eventually go in my 140(once the stand is finished lol). Thanks again!
