What size tank do I need

[MIKE D]

Well I found out that my C. amazonorum is really a Vieja synspilum or red head cichlid. They can reach 14 inches and I would like to know how big of a tank do I need to get?

I'd say 125 gallon minimum for one

I just did some research on it and found out that they are peaceful with other cichlids there size. A good tank mate would be an oscar and that would explain why my tow oscars get along well with the redhead. I also found out that you should not keep 2 of the same sex in the tank. Im looking now for a 75 pluss on craigs list.

I'm not sure on tankmates, so I won't speculate, but I'd stay clear of any other Vieja as tankmates.
