Quetzal Cichlid? I'm narrowing down on the vieja family. Am I getting closer?

Mercy I'm lost on this one. What am I missing here? I'm glad this isn't a game. I'd be a goner by now.

I'm gonna go with Paratheraps hartwegi? Sometimes classified under Vieja hartwegi.

And once again Matt has saved the day!!

Yes very often they are wrongly called Vieja.

But lets go with your first guess of Paratheraps Hartwegi.

Well done, Slug!

Mercy, that was fun, though!

Psst...Brian-you need to get the Beani's. Surely you can find room somewhere. They're gorgeous fish.

I know they are really cool. 2 problems.....space and they are pretty tough to spawn. I know quite a few who have tried and everytime they get to a certain size the dominant male always kills off everything in the tank. Quick like in a days time.
Maybe I will let someone borrow some Gymno's and use the 6' tank though, I think that would be my best chance for success.
