vieja ID

[voodeezy]

I called a lfs and asked if they had any type if vieja and they said no.. So when I got to the store I saw these guys labeled as synspilium cichlid... I know they're small but does anyone know if they look like young synpilium? Also do wild and f1 lend up looking much better than common ones?

[Citrinellus]

I agree ^

l sorry I messed up I know what he is lololol here's the pics of these guys, can't really see that well but maybe you guys can tell...

Boo is a xanthic sagittae from rapps, and he's got best personality of any fish I've ever owned... Amphilophus ftw

Those could be small synspilum. Most Paratheraps look similar when young so there is no 100% way to tell.

I guarantee they're not regani. Those are easy to ID.

Modest_Man is correct these are juvi synspilums. I am certain on this even though Paratheraps on some occasions are difficult to distinguish at young age as ^^^ said.
