Vieja Id

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The one on the right of the image is a bifasciatus. I'm not sure about the two on the left. Can you get a clearer pic when they aren't stressed?
 
Not sure on id, I was thinking Hartwegi or a washed out fenestratus for the one on the right. Guttulatus maybe for the other two.

I would not buy any of those fish. They look really stressed and the one on the right has a sunken belly - might have something internal.
 
Cheers guys ill look in to them, I think the brasillnes in the tank were harrasing them. There were several others in the tank lookin alot healthier then these ones just alot easier to get pics of these ones. They were listed as synspilum but was pretty sure they wernt will see what they look like next time I'm in the shop.

I was thinking the one on the right looked like a syn. Bifa looks very similar also.
 
Syn, bifa, hartwegi and fenestratus all look very similar as juvies.
I don't think syn because of the amount of blue I see and also the length of the black lateral line on the body.
Could be a washed out bifa - I see a small amount of black on the upper half of the body. Looks like too much blue in the body though. Bifa usually are more gold. Could very well be a bifa though.

Its the amount of blue I see in the body of the fish that makes me think fenestratus or hartwegi. Thats assuming of course that the fish is not a vieja hybrid.
