Description
This colourful fish is the most commonly available of the vieja species to the hobby.
Primarily herbivorous in the wild, this species is not a fussy eater in captivity. Use a good quality cichlid pellet as the staple diet. Supplement this with meaty foods such as prawn, mussel and white fish. Vegetable matter in the form of spirulina or algae wafers should form an important part of the diet.
The fish will arrange the tank decor to suit itself. Rocks, bogwood & branches can be used but ensure they are securely positioned to prevent the aquarium glass being damaged, should the fish dislodge them. Sand or fine gravel substrate is recommended. Lighting levels are not critical and decent filtration should be provided.
