Very nice looking fish. May I ask what you feed them?

market shrimp, dried shrimp, blood worms but mainly pellets

I have caught 3 viejas in Florida Canals. 1 of them is becoming very picky with the food

@@occichlids1700 thank you!!

[@microsorumpteropus]

is Paraneetroplus melanurus (Ex. Vieja) a synspilum? Or they are completely different fish?

[@occichlids1700]

Originally classified as vieja synspillum but recently changed to vieja Melanura. Same fish apparently
