I was given a vieja synspilum over two years ago. She had been living in a very small tank, around 20L for two years. She now lives in a four foot tank with a 30cm+ pleco, they have a love hate relationship but get along ok. Her personality is kinda like Franks and she even plays chase the laser pointer. She has become very fussy when it comes to food, only eating bloodworms, mealworms, superworms and feeder fish. She's currently around 35cm long and does try to bite when I clean her tank, just have to pay attention.

Really appreciated the change in style my man. I especially liked the details in the video edits, the timelapse, feeding time and the close-ups of the breeds. It was differnet but if I'm honest I think its time you switched it up and introduce new things you want to say and present, the gallerys nearly there and when it is it makes sense to lead your videos from a curators POV. Nice one J ty

How do you keep your sand keep. I got play sand, and I use the siphon and no matter how much I try there always remains their pop or water on the bottom, their in a guppy tank and I also have two baby bristlenose catfish in the tank, it’s only used as my quarantine tank as it’s only 20 litres, so to you it would only probably be a 5 gallon tank, I really need some help

And I brought some dirft wood from the pet shop, I boiled it for half an hour before putting it into my tank to refrain it from changing the colour water in my tank but it has made my tank a yellow/orange colour, how do I fix this?

If anybody is able to help me that’ll be great, I’m willing to do anything :(

The amount of people not giving Joey a break because he's mispronouncing vieja is too damn high lol please people remember he does not speak Spanish I know some are trying to help but some are just straight up getting upset of his pronounciation and that's a little ridiculous lol chill out.
Eden's Aquaponics
Eden's Aquaponics - 6 years ago
DarkThorns00 thank you very much for your apology even though it wasn't really necessary.

I just watched his latest video, where he admits knowing the correct pronunciation. If in this video he had said "I know I'm mispronouncing it, but I prefer saying..." instead of "or however you want to pronounce it" then I doubt he would have received anywhere near the number of comments he did.

Do you mind me asking how fluent you are in Spanish?
DarkThorns00
DarkThorns00 - 6 years ago
Eden's Aquaponics Oh I'm sorry, I though you were a native speaker I didn't mean to, I was just saying some people might have difficulties with pronunciations when speaking another language, or maybe joey was pronouncing it the way he did because he got used to it lol
Eden's Aquaponics

Eden's Aquaponics Oh I'm aware, I just want people to give him some slack, we're jist here to watch his content after all. A algunas personas se le hace dificil pronunciar algunas palabras en otro idioma, especialmente si nunca ha hablado el idioma en su vida ☺ Tal vez se acostumbro a llamarlas viya and you what they say old habits die hard

Hey Joey,
Gr8 addition to the gallery. I've a question about asian arowana though. You see, i was in the hobby, but 2 years ago i moved to Indonesia,so had to sell my aquarium, but now i'm gonna go for asian arowana since i'm in their country now....i had silver aro b4...so i'm doing my research,n came about tanning of the fish. What ive read about is tanning of the red aro is necessary as compared to the gold ones. Ive watched most of ur videos, n i dnt believe i heard anything about tanning....n today i saw d difference between a tanned red aro and a non-tanned 1....can u give me some insight on this....thx bro.

bb mm - 6 years ago
so.... I was planning to get a tank and cycle it then get fish.... BUT my young sisters came home one day and, well, they got a fantail goldfish (it was one of the ones that had  see through-ish skin) and a turtle. Long story short I never got a tank, although I got a calico goldfish, (comet) and they're living in a happy, big, maybe already cycled, pink container. They also bred and layed eggs, no heater, no pump, the eggs died. Anyways before you go super saiyin hate mode, I do know that these conditions are less than ideal for a goldfish, and I am planning to get a big aquarium for them since they get big (yes I will get a heater and a pump) but after they're gone (could be two years, could be 25 years) I don't know what to put in there, any suggestions?

I think that amazing large filter you have on the 375 gallon tank , needs a much larger tank !.

Or anything invloving building another big tank

Platypus if you get a pair in a 75 will be a good size tank. You can then add a cuckoo catfish with them even a featherfin catfish would be a good add in with them. But yeah their size and temperament make them rough to decide if you want them. Like the flower horns beautiful but very limiting.

The first time i heard about vieja was in one of you videos, (the frankenstein fishroom). Since then, i´ve been learning about this and other CA species. I was surprised how many and how beatiful species are in the region.
There are even bigger species like the ones in Parachromis, Nandopsis, Mayaheros etc
The medium sized like octofasciatum, salvinni.
An there are a ton of smaller species you can keep in relatively small aquariums:
Torichtys, Amatitlania, Criptoheros, Nosferatu, the smaller Herichtys..
I don´t quite understand why the region doesn´t have a bigger presence in the hobby.
Thanks man for your work. Very educational. Very inspiring.
The problem with you is that now I need more thanks.

I love the rainbow fish tank, I’d like it to stay just as it is! It’s very simple with the wood, moss, and flashy red rainbows, but very elegant. And the fish seam like they have such a fun personality! I want to imitate that tank but stock it with as many red rainbows as possible and only that one type of fish. Community tanks are interesting, but there’s just something about that tank that really interests me.

I feel no interest toward those "Vegetas". They are not particularly pretty, being cichlids they are too aggressive to cohabit with most other fish, they get too big too quick and the fact that they are plants n' scapes destroyers is also a big bummer.
If those are all things you don't mind, then you're better getting some astronotus ocellatus instead. More beautiful, love to swim around the tank and are frighteningly intelligent. (I trained my lutino tiger oscar to swim to the surface to get petted before being fed.)
OR
One of the prettiest cichlid in my opinion are Cichlasoma salvini. By far my favorite. But they have nasty tempers tho. ^^

I'm trying to convince my wife to let me get an aquarium but I'm in the military so I move every 2-3 years is her argument. How can I convince her to let me get an aquarium and also do you think it is even viable for me to have an aquarium with this lifestyle? Question goes for anyone in the comment section as well.

Hey I’m glad to see you keeping centrals. I hope you keep them long enough for people too see them in their full glory. I used to keep and breed all types of vieja. At the time the genus was undergoing a bit of a name change to paratheraps. Nowadays I believe they go under a variety of names. Look it up. One species that I think you would ❤️ is the “regani”. They are stunning as adults. If you ever start another CA tank try em out!
Philip Raposo
Philip Raposo - 6 years ago
the problem is that the vieja syns will outgrow the other 2 species rapidly because they are the fastest growing vieja. they will likely beat on the other fish as they will have a big size advantage. also consider any time a pair spawns it will be total chaos in there. I bet you get a few months before you need to start removing some fish.

Good luck though. I love viejas

Which i cannot give up.They are my Budys. The aronava is small still 24 cm...do you think they will acomodate?
Cellistic
Cellistic - 6 years ago
Ioan Cristian unfortunately the arowana is a very aggressive species and generally cannot be kept with the type of fish you have as once it reaches its full grown size it will eat them. If you were to get another tank to house the arowana, you could start with a small one but it will quickly outgrow that and will need a 180 gallon tank or bigger

“VEE-eh-HA” would be the right pronunciation for vieja.

I did know about Vieja!! One of my LFS often has them available. I think if I had the tank space available I would rather opt for Festae, though. (It's pronounced "vee-ay-hah" btw)

These fish look a lot like bluegill. You should keep some bluegill, you can catch them almost anywhere so they are really cheap. The best part is, once they get too big you can always cook them up.

They are absolutely amazing to watch but I didn’t know about them till watching your channel. Thanks for sharing the education. I tend to stick to the smaller fish considering I have no room for anything that large.

When the Vieja reach their full size, put them in the 160 gallon. If that's the size of the Rainbow tank. They are stunning fish. Great choice of fish, much better than mine.

I had one recently and it was extremely aggressive it attacked everything in the tank. Granted this was probably just the attitude of this particular fish, but just a word of caution that these fish are capable of being extremely aggressive.
