Temperament of Vieja Heterospila

[6 bar]

I'm thinking of getting 5 (1.5") vieja heterospila. Might breed them down the road, but how con-specific aggressive are they?

Anyone with experience, please chime in.

I'd appreciate any pointers for successfully raising these guys up as well.


Happy New Years!

I have 6 in their own tank ranging between 5" to 4.5". There are 2 breeding pairs in this group. I dont have any problems, no real aggression, occassional nudge etc. I find then peaceful, beautiful fish. This could change, but I will be surprised if it did. I say if you get the chance to aquire these, do so. Its not a cichlid you come across everyday.

adults get A LITTLE agg. in my exp. (at least mine does) but not much ...plus they dont get real big ....so that helps a little (think..low aggression JD)

+ 1. I had 6, took them out to 8" and while there was tons of flaring, no damage at all.
