Description
Remarks: The Red-spotted cichlid (Vieja bifasciata) grow to large sizes and require a large tank at maturity. They prefer a diet high in vegetable matter but will happily accept protein in moderation. This fish is similar to the more common Synspillum, but differs in appearance since the bifasciata has two prominent horizontal lines running between their eyes. Males in the species are significantly more colorful when mature than the females.
