Today in the Fishroom ~ Vieja sp. "Coatzacoalcos"

[Aquamojo]

I got these from Rusty Wessel 11 years ago. Right now I just have the pair. Originally I had a dozen of them. It's a case of last man standing. They killed off their siblings. I looked for an updated name on line, but when I google the fish, most of the info that comes up is from my postings. I know Lee Nutal has them and maybe can shed some additional light. This fish is very large...14" (@35 cm) He is showing a few battle scars and his color have lightened as most older fish will , but other than that in good shape. Yet another photo shot in available light with the new D850.
