Is there actually such a thing as a viejita? Every one I've found seems to be actually what people say is macmasteri.

True vie's are pretty rare, atleast when i was actively searching them out years ago. Nothing wrong with mac's though. They're stunning and more resilient.

What makes this a macmaster? Did you notice the shape of his tail?

It's not that I was hoping for viejita, it's just that I want to find a mate for it, and the fish labeled macmasteri look very different, but the ones labelled viejita look very similar.

This was listed as a Red Neck Viejta at my lfs. Yours definitely has a few different characteristics.1608428470741.jpeg
 
This was listed as a Macmasteri from the same store. Idk unless it is wild it is probably hybridized.95800064_3651294048249422_232124698673020928_n.jpeg
