  • Help I.d please

    Picked up this guy last week. He was listed as a plum head cichlid but I can find much on them. TO me he looks like a vieja synspila ( Red head cichlid)

    Synipsila and plum head are the same thing. it's still a juviie so it's colors arent fully developed yet, but it def. looks like a vieja.

      Yes, a Vieja Synspilum and Plum-head is the same thing. It is also commonly referred to as a Red-Headed cichlid in some literature. So you are right Zeb.

      This is one of my favorite fish, and I've bred them for the last few years. So if you have any questions, just holla at me and I may be able to help you...
