well the closest lfs that actually has viejas is 1.5 hours away and they have Regani, Zonatas, and Bifasciatus so would probably be one of those. Guess I am leaning towards Regani though I am thinking about ordering some argentea
i say...
vieja argentea
vieja zonatum
vieja synspillum
blackbelt
if you want more variety, feel free to add doses of
red tiger mota female
festae female
cuban cichlid
i think the best would be an argentea (cuz i think they are the nicest viejas) with some large clown loaches and get this - a number of smaller cichlids from the archocentrus family and the thorichyths family.
the argentea would be a center piece show fish and the small cichlids can be sort of like a side show. you can put a lot of driftwood and rocks inside so the small guys can get out of the argentea's way.
that's just my two cents.
