Hi,We picked up this guy as a synspilum but we think its something else.What about a Hartwegi?He/she is a cool fish with lots of character.

Def. not synspilum - possibly hartwegi

 

[Gudjon]

what about Vieja bifasciatus ?

It's not a synspilum but could possibly be a hartwegi

 

[StripeGirl]

Thanks for the help,does this fish get big?

 

[fwlion]

its not ya synspilum its a Vieja bifasciatus

 

[DarthV]

Seems much too green/blue for bifas... and no red/copper type color either. All Vieja/Paratheraps (whatever genus that group is now) grow large. Some are aggressive, some more passive. I would hazard a guess at zonatum with all that blue/green color or possibly hartwegi. Zonatum are probably the more aggressive fish in the genus, so watch out.

zonatum have all those bars don't they?

But either way, gorgeous fish, and most Vieja are pretty scrappy so you might want to keep an eye on it.
