add some vieja and amph. species.
maybe 1 or 2 cool plec's with some dollars.
vieja's being

regani
argentea
sysnpilum
black belt
zonatum
hartwegi

amph. species being

lyonsi
citrinellus BARRED or else chancho or even red isletas
festae
robertsoni

This is a great stocking list! I would also add a Pearsei, a Guttulatum, a few Syno cats, or Loaches, maybe even a Carpenta.

Highly recommend to check out Rapps site to see all of the things available. Especially the Isletas!! They are at the top of my next to get!

midas complex colony, (excluding chancho). I love that they get big but IME, mine was the most psychotic aggresive fish i've owned, hated all fish, but esspecially similar looking fish- any amphilophus with bars.

If you're doing amphilophus I'd want a trimac in there...best looking of the bunch IMO.

if you want to keep it more peaceful and pretty do a sa tank but if you want to do the tough guys heres a list that i think may work out.
1male or female festae depending on which you like
a trimac of oppisite sex then the festae
male jag
large enough grammode not to get eaten
female red tiger motaguese. i think the top 4 would work but the mota would be pushing it.
also large polys are awesome. get a couple endilecheri or ornates and throw in there.
