Viejas/paratheraps are not known for being super aggressive, so there may be a little bit of chasing and nipping here and there. However, it would come down to individual fish personality. An example: Synspilum are typically peaceful, but I've read accounts where they can be a terror. I've been growing out synspilum, bocourti, fenestratus, regani, hartwegi for nearly 2 years now, with the two hartwegis and synspilum now at around 12 inches. The two hartwegis have split up the tank and threaten each other, but that's about the only aggression. No physical altercation as of yet.

Thanks again! I will first search for a couple bocourti. I will post the new pictures when I got them.

What do you mean with the overstocked "jdm"look? Over here it's very hard to get some bigger Vieja.

When I buy some Vieja that are under 2", my stingray willl proberbly eat them.
But I am definitely gonna look for some nice spieces.

I made the tank myself. It's 250x120x80.

Awesome for your effort....and i liked the way your fishes look calm and enjoying the space.
