Vieja zonata is a beautiful large cichlid that comes from Mexico. It can grow up to about 25 cm. My Vieja zonata is one of the most aggressive cichlids I have ever seen. He was originally in a 600 L tank with a large female managuense, a slightly smaller male midas and a few other large fish. He would constantly attack every fish in the tank. He is now the only fish in his own 200 L tank. This fish is not commonly found in the hobby, but is definately one of the most attractive cichlids out there.
