You have some very nice fish in there.I think you will need to make some decisions further down the line about what to keep and what not to keep.A pair of jags and tetracanthus in a165 will cause some trouble as they mature.
Don't mean to be down beat but I see trouble ahead.

There's a good chance you will end up with 1 pair of something by the time they start to breed, or possibly half a pair of something.

Zonatus, argentea and jags...ding ding ding ding lets get ready to rumbleeee. Lol
Nice fish man had an argentea and it was absolutely nasty. Zonatus wasnt much better

Synspilum and hetro's seem to be the most peaceful of the veija group.
However veija can be quite intolerant of each other in all but the largest of tanks ie,200 gallons plus.

To be honest for me i dont like to talk in absolutes. Some members have issues in monster tanks and other have a peaceful comm in average 6ft tanks. I guess it boils down to the individual personally of each fish. Hope op continues to have success with this group

Jaws,I know nothing is black and white and general rule of thumb can be broken.
In most cases when veija are kept together you normally end up with one dominant male giving the rest a hard time.The likelihood of this happening decreases in bigger tanks.
Veija can work in smaller communities but rarely with their own kind.

Most of the time, the tank would look peaceful for a while (giving people the illusion that the mix is working), until somebody turns overnight and starts killing off everybody else. people who have been in this long enough know it's not a matter of if; it's when.
