Advice: 55 gallons is really the smallest size for mbuna as there was much agression and I did loose a fish so I wouldn't recommend this size to anyone interested in mbuna. 55-75 gallons is better.

About Yourself: I love this new hobby.. I just picked it up a month ago , and I can't stop.. I now love fish like no one can believe and I just recently purchased my next tank that I would like to do just for Discus and a non-aggressive mix 50 Gallon :)
Fish Kept: Mix Cichlid tank, with 1 Pleco, and 1 mature mail Red Tail Shark. All get a long, majority are African Cichlids, and a few South American
Corals/Plants: Mostly decided to stick to fake plants, just because I thought that they are more maintenance friendly, and the fish love them just as much. I take good care of the tank so I decided to stick to different plants and mix up the colors so each fish could have there own area to hide, eventually as I add more fish.
Tank Size: 60 gallons
Advice: Setup your decoration before you fill your tank with water ;) I tried to do an underworld city type with neat colors and fully loaded with life and colors.
