First of all, welcome to MFK!
Second, you have to vent the cichlid in order to find its gender

Welcome to the forum!
I don’t know Vieja too well, but with any cichlid you can’t go wrong with venting. duanes duanes will definitely be the authority on this.

Pretty fish. Vieja get big so it’s too early to know accurately from body shape & color. If you can catch the fish and get a clear picture of the vent we can help.
Vent basics are;
oo = male, with the 2nd hole being slightly triangulated.
oO = female
Let’s see some pics!
