Oregon, it's part of 'Murica!
Currently have 1 Oscar and 1 Blood Parrot in my 130 gallon but I have a Vieja Synspilum I am growing out to add to it. So is this overstocked?

130 Gallon:
1 Tiger Oscar
1 Blood Parrot
1 Vieja Synspilum
 
Agreed. But I would ditch the blood parrot because I hate them and all other hybrids. What filters do you have running and what kind of water changes are you doing?
 
I agree with the above, you could probably have more with good filtration and if your good on waterchanges. Which i assume you are.

I'd probably ditch the blood parrot myself and stick with the more natural look imo.

Iv'e heard the vieja synspilum can get up to 17" and i think the 130 is 18' deep so he might need to be upgraded eventually. But im not sure how fast they grow, or if 17" is really a possible size?

Anyway goodluck!
 
i say your good i dont mine hybrids But its your tank you decided to keep or not
 
what are the dimensions of the tank? I'd say chances are you're fine so long as you have adequate filtration (at least 10x per hour turnover) and keep up on the water changes. :)
