Just got 12. Growing them out in a 55 for a few weeks. I got them from 2 to 4 inches and from 4 different places. There final destination is a 600 gallon I'm putting together. Hope mine will grow out to be as nice as yours. Beautiful tank and set up. Congrats.
Happy to hear you are giving them a larger than normal tank. These fish really need the biggest space possible, and under stocking because of space needed for individual territories. 💙
OMG, I can see firemouth, dempsey, synsplilum, and argentea!!! I'm so happy to see those mixed !! haha I'm gonna try and do the same thing, but with a paratilapia in there, as well, as the tank boss. wish me luck :)
New subscriber. I really like your heavy stocking. I know you have big tanks but you're definitely not going to far. Water and fish look great. Glad to finally hear someone else push the fruits and vegetables on these fish. So many people have them on nothing but diseased feeders. Looking forward to going through your videos. Thanks
Nice group I have 5 Veijo in a 220 with 3 Red Devils , 6 severums , 2 Carpentis , 2 Lemon Oscars , 3 Nicaraguense , 4 Jewel fish , and several of my selective bred flame tail Convicts
I've had African cichlids for the last 12 years. I bought 3 -Vieja Synspilum Belize, 3- Vieja Argentea and 3 -Vieja Bifaciatus Rio Chacamax a week ago. All are 2 1/2" fry. No one in this area has this type of fish. Just curious as to what age they start showing color? They will go into 240 gallon and 280 gallon tanks. You have great looking fish.
My favorite fish as well as you can see from my channel. My pair from COTA Just had a batch I'm raising up. Question for you: what veggies do you feed them and how can I train them to eat veggies after they are used to eating pellets?
Great vid! What size were they when you got them. Any pics? Just picked up my first red headed synsplilum today. About 1.5 inches, silver in color with the back dots towards the tail. Wondering how long it would take to grow into some color.
I really wanna get a new kind of cichlid for my 100 gallon. I’ve got 2 JD’s, a GT, 2 EBA, 2 blood parrots, a firemouth, & maybe a dozen little polar/albino parrots.
They are beautiful right now I have a bout 2 to 300 fries about a week old 20 from a month and a half ago and three of them at Kip from four months ago at first the mother Kept eating them but now she got it right I took 200 out and I left 100 in there with her and so far so good and it’s been two weeks

Thanks for sharing these beauties with those of us who can't keep fish.💙
I got one vieja today! They are magnificent fish! 🤗
I think the Vieja Argentea can also look stunning when they get big!
Nice combination of fish.

My favourite too, mines about a year old now, and around 9-10 inches, stunning fish 👍
A year his already 9 inches wow
Beautiful fish. Them and a black belt in a tank provide plenty of color and are entertaining. I had to separate my black belt cause they get mean.

Vieja are so underrated

Hi I have two red heads there absolutely beautiful I was told they were females but I’m really not sure
Holy crap!
nice fish but they are not 10 months old lol they are a lot older than that
Do they need to be in a school?
No they don't, I usually buy a group and keep the best looking. Atleast that's my plan but I usually end up keeping them all.
got 20 of them
Can I keep these with severums, Oscars and a green terror?
In Indonesia, I breed this chiclid.
They are beautiful right now I have a bout 2 to 300 fries about a week old 20 from a month and a half ago and three of them at Kip from four months ago at first the mother Kept eating them but now she got it right I took 200 out and I left 100 in there with her and so far so good and it’s been two weeks
