Hi all,
These are a domestic red coloured form of Apistogramma macmasteri, A. viejita itself probably isn't present in the hobby at the moment. You need to make sure they aren't all males, our local MA had them in and theirs were all males. If you search on the BCA forum <http://www.britishcichlid.org.uk/>, or Apistogramma forums <http://www.apistogramma.com/forum/index.php> you should be able to find some details for these.

A. macmasteri is a really nice fish, have a look here for some bits about care and breeding etc. <http://www.dwarfcichlid.com/Aquarium_care.php> & <http://www.dwarfcichlid.com/Apistogramma_macmasteri.php>.
