HenryC Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 So I'm about to acquire a 10ft long, 350g tank that I plan to stock with viejas, mainly melanura, zonatus and bifasciatas. My water is rock hard and I've been told they will thirve in it. I just wanted to ask for any suggestions/advice any experienced vieja keepers have, like what have you discovered with keeping vieja, perhaps breeding ease, feeding the right food, substrate/decor/plant prefferences, etc. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So cool! No real advice… Jim Cumming in Canada would offer you sage advice. They’ll need to be mature for breeding. Big Cichlids aren’t called “tank-busters” for nothing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
