I'm in the process of setting up a massive 405-gallon monster tank and I wanted some cichlids. Was originally going to go with Oscars but found them too boisterous and conflictual. I've been reading up on Vieja and keep getting conflicting information on whether or not they are okay to have in a community.
Here are the points I was Considering:
1. Their tankmates:
They wouldn't be only inhabitants sharing it with other monsters including a RTGG, Ornate Bichir, about 7 Threespot Geophagus, and some Fancy pleco(L024, L091, L047).
2. How many:
I was thinking around 10 for life. Don't worry I'm running plenty of filtration and a drip system.
3. What species:
I really want the Vieja Argentea and Maculicauda but some sites say they can quite aggressive. I also want a variety of species and not just one.
To anybody with experience with them should I go with them, considering theses points?
