Hello........Wondered if anyone has any information on Cichlasoma synspillum please. I need to know what kind of temperament these fish have,what size they get and what their dietary requirements are. Thanks in advance.
 
Veja Synspillium is possibily one of my fav fish. as for agression I cant imangine it being any worse than any other large territorial cichlid. givin enough room, I have heard of them mixing well with other species. could probably get away with a 75 gallon and a single Syns in there but for a pair you would have to have at least a 6 foot tank.
 
Thanks Juan......I bought one of these yesterday and have put him in my tank with the shovelnoses,birchir,threadfin acaras and gars......I am hoping this will work out and all seems good so far. Any other info would be good too. :D
 
the Veja species aren't really known for their agression with a few exceptions, they are more known for their colors and size!!!! maculatas(sp) common name is black belts are known to be a bit agressive every now and then. but I don't think that I have heard much about syns being that agressive. but like I said they are going to need a large tank and the acaras might not be able to handle a full grown male.


as a side note I saw some pics of an 11" male, so definatly going to need a large tank for it and just keep an eye on it if you notice any agression that looks like it is going to kill any fish in your tank seperate it right away
