Vieja juvenile question

[coltiger1975]

I was curious if there is anyone on here that breeds any of the Vieja species. The reason I ask is I have a female that is about 9 inches long and forever looking for a mate for her. Today I came across some juveniles but the tank was labelled Texas lol I was not sure if it was bifasciatus or maculicauda. Or hybrid at that. The owner did not seem to know.

If you have a female at 9" and looking for juveniles it will take them a year or two to get them to breed with that female.

I have a few synspilums growing out and two are always together since the very beginning and male in assuming is 5" and female 3-4". If you have any pics post them. At two different lfs they had a 14" vieja synpsilum male and the other lfs a 10" vieja synpsilum female. I was so tempted but the female vieja was beating the hell out of a snook and Midas in that tank which were the same size so I opted out of the pair.

Post a picture of the female you have

Here she is.

She is in with a 4 inch male convict and EB Ahli. I realise that it may take a few years but around here there are only larger bifasciatus, synsplilus and hybrid males. I don't want to make more hybrids.

Unfortunately I've decided to part ways in trying to find males here. I'm trading her to a guy that has a group of 15 for 10 midevil juveniles and if he spawns her he will give me some. Fair deal I'd say
