I just bought a tank that has a red Headed cichlid in it and i was just wondering if anyone can give me info on it how big they get are they mean anything i dont know anything about these fish. I also am wondering how much is a 8" to 9" if not a little big sell for i have Never seen them or Heard of them. All the help i can get would be great
 
Assuming we are talking the same fish, that common name is actually somewhat less common than the scientific classification of vieja synspilum. You will find a lot of info if you search for that.
 
If it is a synspilum, then it is almost certainly not worth a huge amount. In the UK, people sell large ones for about £10-£20. A lot of people buy them, not realising how big they get. So, like oscars, there are a fair few around that have simply outgrown the owner's tanks.
