Which Vieja and why?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
lol I know the feeling...let me help tho...get the boc and V. Out of the argenta and BB I would do the argenta. I have seen BB be real nasty...and I am thinking about adding the argenta to my mix too. So there...go and order them :D
 
lol Im trying to find a decent sized Bocourti right now. Largest i can find is 3"


Lots of larger argentea around. My lfs has a stunning 7-8" male. Cichlid Connection has just about every size for a little cheaper, but I gotta figure shipping in. Dan has big blackbelts but no Bocourti and small argentea.

bocourti of size are not easy to find
 
I know I lucked out with the 3 I got from cichlid connection...he had larger 6"+ and was sold out when I tried...then he called me back and said he had 3 left he wanted to sell as a group so I got all 3.
 
seems like you are leaning towards the blackbelt, mine are awesome, always front and waiting to eat. argentea would look really nice in your tank they are not as aggressive. zonatus is super aggressive at least mine, bifa second. synspilum is the most colorful and super peaceful. hartwegi is also super colorful. i love viejas they are awesome fish!
 
My wife and daughter think we should do synspilus......

After seeing some more pics, starting to agree.

they are awesome fish and so laid back ! mine from rapps has colored up nicely, it is now my wife's favorite fish
