Cichlid - Vieja bifasciatus Rio Chacamax
Vieja bifasciatus from the Rio Chacamax, Mexico, is a large and powerfully built Central American cichlid with spectacular color potential in mature individuals - a rich green-blue iridescent body with orange-red highlights and bold patterning. The Rio Chacamax designation indicates a specific wild locality form. Grows to 14-16 inches. A dominant, aggressive fish best maintained as a pair or single specimen in 150+ gallon aquariums. JBO sizing at 8-10 inches means these are near-adult specimens. A genuine collector's cichlid for dedicated Central American enthusiasts. Diet of quality pellets, frozen meaty foods, and blanched vegetables.
