Vieja species for 75gal?

[Burtess]

What Vieja species do you all suggest for a single fish in a 75gal?

Please try to suggest an obtainable vieja, one that I could have a hope of finding in a LFS. I don't want to order online and have one shipped.

Thanks!

Burt

They are all really cool.Can't really think of a sucky one.

Vieja Argentae...get a male. Nice fish. Or a male Maculicauda.

I don't know about your local, but around here the only ones that are somewhat available are synspilum. Good looking fish, as all vieja are, but I agree with the argentae. You can't go wrong.

 

[longaniza]

i say amale and female synspilum would be good.

In a 75g? No.

Bifasciatus are usually available, as are maculicauda and even some of the less common species are often available near me, such as regani, argentea, and guttalatus

zonatus or synspilum I often find locally

Vieja Argentae...get a male.

Yup thats the one id go for too, however V Synsplium will be far easier to find.

The Vieja argentae are stunning, I will keep my eye out for one.

Is there any way to tell M/F when they are small? Or if I find a source should I get a few and grow them in the 75gal until one stands out and I think its a male?
